We have backlinks for links. It's very useful
Is it possible to make a backlink for Mirrors?
With similar behavior, or at least with a list of breadcrumbs for used places

It provides the ability to see all areas when this topic was used. It provides great insights by combining ideas from different related areas. 
This approach was implemented by Roam Research, LogSeq, and Obsidian. And for many people, it's one of the main reasons to use that programs.

At the same time, it seems like it can be implemented in Workflowy and keep it simple like before. Because we already have backlinks UI, just by providing the ability to use them for mirrors as well

  Hi Maksym!

  If I'm not mistaken, I think what you're looking for can be found if you access the 3-dot options menu for a mirror > click on "This node has x mirrors. See them" (right at the top of the menu), which will give you a list of everywhere you've got a certain node mirrored.

  Hi Frank, just to use this opportunity to reiterate the request made on Slack by multiple users for this useful information to be more quickly / conveniently accessible, with a single keystroke command, and/or in a hover-bubble that can be clicked to open a more persistent selection dialog. Thanks!

  Thank you! It's exactly what I am looking for.
  This is a bit hidden as Jonathan said, but it's great that we already have it
  
  Do we have some hotkey for that?

  Hi Jonathan,

  It was logged some time back... and the developers will consider it at some point...
