Works great for attachments, but how are "orphaned" notes defined?

Hi! Thanks for a really great plugin! As mentioned in the other discussion, it is a true godsend when it comes to the attachments folder!

I just realized that I don't understand the other functionality, though. If anyone could help me out, I'd be really grateful.
So the thing is, whenever I try to Trash orphaned notes I get a list of all my notes (at least as far as I can tell).

I thought that what this command does, is find files that are not linked anywhere (without any parents, hence orphaned)
However, I double-checked, and even the notes that have multiple outgoing links, as well as backlinks, appear on the list to be nuked.

To give an example, I do have the following structure:

                         /Index.md (in the main folder of the vault)
                                   |
                                   | has a link to
                                   ↓ 
                      /Free Time/Games.md
                                   |
                                   | has a link to
                                   ↓
/Free-Time/Games/Baldurs Gate/Baldurs Gate.md

And all three of these files (Index.md, Games.md and Baldur's Gate.md) appear on the list to get nuked.

So this really made me think - what does the orphaned mean in the context of the plugin?
The only thing that comes to my mind, other than what I'd thought originally, would be files which are not embedded anywhere (like is the case with attachments). Is that so?

Thank you in advance for any and all help in the matter!

The plugin only counts links to the file/note/attachment, anyways this is a bug so please open an issue and provide a vault that behaves the same so i can find it

Someone had the same issue but with attachments and it just disappeared suddenly so i couldn't fix it
