Just to feed my curiosity. How can this one year old question, in which I never took a part (except reading -- no comment, answer, edit, no nothing) can be linked to my own question and vice versa?

How can an year old question be linked with a month old question, which doesn't even existed when first was written?

Why these two questions list each other in Linked section, while there isn't even a trace of one in another? What does it mean, that two questions are linked and what conditions must be met, to two question become "linked" together.

There is a trace. You've linked to that question yourself. Check the second link here, I'm quoting this from your question:

  • Thank you for your reply, especially though this is a duplicate. I wasn't aware, that when question B references question A, then also B appears as linked to A. I assumed (incorrectly), that this is always one-way linking, and that only question A will be linked to question B. Thanks for clarification.
