Agreed, Roam didn't come up with a new idea. Just helped popularize it. I'm so relieved that after all these years transclusion and backlinking are finally considered a necessary feature for PKM software.

Forgot to mention: Backlinks and transclusion are not the same.
ConnectedText shows lists of forward links, backlinks and inclusion
links (what it includes, and where it is included) as separate lists in
the summary pane.

It doesn't show "unlinked mentions" but it does have a "like this" list
where it lists topics deemed to be similar based on topic content. It
also has an "Auto Link" feature where it scans the text and adds links
to topics that match the text.

All this excitement about Roam is good for getting attention for
outliners, but in terms of features ConnectedText already has it
covered.
