A more Gemini-style approach would be to have the client keep this
information and add backlinks to the top or bottom of a text/gemini page
when it displays one.  That would give each page three kinds of links: a
backlink, a forward link (one that the user has followed already), and a
blue-sky link (one that the user has never followed).
