I see. Someting like UnfoldBacklinks.
The new IncludeSiteMap does this. Use reclimit=1 for only Backlinks on 
this page:

<?plugin IncludeSiteMap reclimit=1
          pagename='ThisComment' includepages='' ?>

No, a subpage is a page with the SUBPAGE_SEPERATOR (default: "/") in the 
pagename. You want a linked page: see plugin/BackLinks

PhpWiki is special kind of OO beast :)
