Is there a way to get the back-links for properties of a custom class instances?

This is a current limitation. In the future we'd like to implement renaming of object properties too. See http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1341 Help is welcome. Thanks -Vincent

The current backlinks infrastructure seems to work only over links of ordinary Documents. In particular, on line 1507 of com.xpn.xwiki.storeXWikiHibernateStore, in the saveLinks function of a recent SVN checkout it says:

XWikiRenderer renderer = renderContext.getWiki().getRenderingEngine().getRenderer("wiki"); renderer.render(doc.getContent(), doc, doc, renderContext); links = (List) renderContext.get("links"); How can this be parameterized, so that links contained in property values of custom Class Instances are being included into the links variable?

Example: Class Car:

Instance Space1.car1 Property "carsThatAreFaster": values: "Space1.car2"

where Space1.car2 is a link to another Car instance. The above saveLinks function does not update the BackLinks table with the Space1.car2 link.

Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks, Andreas ______________________________
