Cross-referencing existing Card

We can now create placeholder Cards by inputting [[some placeholder name]] inside a Card.

Current behaviour: When creating a link to a placeholder card, after clicking on it, the new card gets created. Other references to that same placeholder (within the same note) are not created. Clicking other placeholders creates another new card with the same name/content.

Requested behaviour: All other references with the same name are updated to point towards the new Card, automatically or after a confirmation dialog.

Fully second this. I just became a paying customer, and was going crazy over this!

I assumed the backlinking with the name would work the same way in Obsidian. Case sensitive backlinks like [[Immutability]] should point to an existing [[Immutability]] card. If you need the ID, can you not parse the string?

The problem is that Mochi doesn't really have a good heuristic for which card a reference to "Immutability" would point to. In Obsidian all notes have a title field that is globally unique. Mochi doesn't have any such construct, so implementing this would be difficult.
