Return pages referencing the given $page, optionally indexed by field name
The default behavior when no arguments are provided (except $page) is to simply return a PageArray of all pages referencing the given one (excluding hidden, unpublished, trash, no-access, etc.). Specify "include=all" as your $selector if you want to include all pages without filtering. If the quantity may be large, you should also include a "limit=100" (replacing 100 with your limit). This method supports pagination when specifying a limit.
Usage
// basic usage
$items = $fieldtypePage->findReferences(Page $page);
// usage with all arguments
$items = $fieldtypePage->findReferences(Page $page, $selector = '', $field = false, bool $getCount = false);Arguments
