[Pmwiki-users] Free Links and search for "Backreferences2

Hi there.

I was trying to use my wiki for a little software
analyzation/documentation. I wanted to create some kind of file tree in
the wiki that allows me to see which files include what file and so on.
Since filenames usually contain special chars which pmwiki does not like
in the WikiWords I had to do something like the following:

[[{{include category_rubric inc php}} _include/category_rubric.inc.php]]

Of course this is too much to type for each and every coder who is
already forced to write documentation :-) - any better
ideas/suggestions?

However - what really puzzles me is that I can not search "backwards",
to e.g. get a list of all files that include the one I am watching at
the moment.

(Of course I can, but have to call the search and enter the path
manually)

What is not working is my skin that adds a "backreferences" link
automagically:
pmwiki.php/BS/SearchWiki?text=BackendDeleteArticlePhp

But this will not find the above links, since the link is described as
{{backend delete article php}} or _backend/delete_article.php

And again - any ideas/suggestions? 

(Yes, I could manually write the links the way , but this is 1. error
prone and 2. even more work :)

and 3. it will be hard to find free links this way with pmwiki
generally.
