The BACKREf attribute brings the back pointer reference for Reference Table Attributes and answer the question "what references me (ce)". The syntax is:
Q BACKREF [(ATTNAME att1 [, ATTNAME att2] )]
For example, standing on a Specific Component (SPCO) and querying for BACKREf (attname SPREF ) will return all elements referencing that SPCO.

Q BACKREF
