Currently, you can see the number of references to a rem while in the editor like such:
to the right, with a “link” icon.
But if we can also see the number of text references to a rem as well, that way we can actually figure out newer connections, instead of searching for them using the current process that goes a lot like this:
- Zoom into the rem
- Open the search portal at the bottom to see the text references (if any)
- Make connections (references) as desired
Now, given the current functionality to add a search portal listing the references to a rem (not while zoomed in) like such:
the same thing when done with text references is going to make the connection making process so much easier. We can completely forget about step 1 mentioned above.
And now imagine, you just made a rem, say “Nucleus”, and instantly a number like 7 pops up to the right, and you realize you’ve mentioned Nucleus 7 times before, but you don’t know where (!!) So you open up the search portal and make a few references (and feel a whole lot happier 
).
P.S. This feature should pair with This feature to make a perfect duo.
