I need to maintain that list manually, though, because the automatically generated list is too brief. \[[!map ...]] generates just a list of titles or descriptions. I need a list that contains both. See [[this_posting|ikiwiki/directive/map/discussion]] for more details. Until \[[!map]] can do that, I'm stuck with a manually maintained list. Which means that every link shows up in the backlinks.
