neighbors2(item|group, N)

Returns a list of the path(s) of all those notes that can be reached by following exactly N links from the designated note or notes, with all links being treated as bi-directional. Only the shortest possible path between two notes is considered. For example:

$MyList = neighbors2(this, 3); 

Returns the set of notes that are connected from this note by exactly three links of any direction.

neighbors2(item|group, N, "linkType")

Returns the set of notes that are connected by exactly N links from the designated note or notes, with all links being treated as bi-directional and considering only links of the specified link type linkType. Unnamed links are specified as the type "*untitled". For example:

$MyList = neighbors2(children, 2, "example"); 

Returns the set of notes that are connected from any of this note's children by by exactly two links of any direction but also of the link type "example".

From v9.1.0, this operator now report links from the source node to itself, i.e. self-links (previously, these were ignored). Also, prototype-type links are now ignored.
