backlinks or referred links for the target URL, which could be a domain, subdomains, or a specific page URL.
The Backlinks Site Explorer provides:

You can use this report to research, analyze, create marketing strategies, and share with clients in white label dashboards and PDF reports (refer to specific instructions in the sections below).
This report is in the BETA stage. We make beta reports and tools available for the purpose of receiving customer feedback regarding features and functionality prior to finalizing them. BETA reports and graphs cannot be added to PDF reports, Marketing Dashboards, or Client Dashboards. Any feedback that you provide to customer service will be shared with our development team, and the final product will be updated and thoroughly tested prior to the official launch. Thank you.
