To do that in JavaScript would require us to either instigate a possible
infinite loop, or to use AJAX, which could end up with a repetitive and
confusing loop.
It might be more prudent to place a "what links to this page" link on the "what
links here" list, so that one can observe, for instance, that A is linked to
from B, and can opt to view what links to B.

I think though the bug in its original form may be a long term aim, though there
may be conceptual difficulties to overcome.
