Where's the backlinks view? [#2945875]

For each page in the site, we want to record all other pages that point to it (from the body text). In wikis, these are commonly called "backlinks".

For Drupal 5 there was a separate module for this, for D6 and D7 (Views 2/3) this functionality was baked into Views Module, when "backlinks" view is activated, a "What links here"-tab appears in the desired content type. But in D8 we didn't found the backlinks view anywhere, is this feature removed or hidden? is there any way to create a list of backlinks in D8?

Backlinks support was part of the Search module but this was removed during the Drupal 8 development cycle, see #1853536: Reintroduce Views integration for search.module (not supporting backlinks view) for more information.
