Backlink doesn't seem to work, Blender 5.2.1 LTS

It does add a link to the new blend file within the current blend file, but it doesn't replace the selected object after removing the original one.

Update: It turns out that this is an issue caused by backslashes being present in the export paths, which platforms other than Windows don't support. I submitted a pull request that replaces them with forward slashes, which should work everywhere.

Start by reproducing the backlink export on a non-Windows platform and inspect how export paths are formed. The issue identifies backslashes in those paths as the cause; done means the generated paths use forward slashes and the selected object is replaced after the original is removed.
