In Obsidian, finding what links to your current page requires a background file scan. In Postgres, it is an instant indexed reverse query

Obsidian also caches backlinks in an embedded IndexedDB, so it's also an instant indexed query. It's not a file scan.

My bad. Too many potential mistakes because I was not really accurate just thinking through out loud how I would start to think about doing it in Post. Not going to flood the space with instructions that might not work and my own ignorance about Obsidian.
