I think this improvement can come later since:
* you will always need a field with the document reference anyway to
find all the entry related to a document you are currently
refactoring, you really need to know the type only when you actually
start modify the document so new fields can be added to the table
later without breaking anything
* we don't currently register backlink for attachments or inside
xobject properties so those new fields (if really needed) can be
discussed when adding support for those
So you would have:
- sourceType
- targetType
to identify precisely what this backlink represents?
In that case shouldn't we put it in link table too?
