It is easy to see outgoing references from a single document.

It may be useful in some contexts to see all incoming references to the current document. In the example above, we can see all course type of documents that reference this current presenter.

This Pane can be configured to perform any GROQ query, with values of the current document available as parameters. It can also be configured to initialize new documents.
