Callbacks I can think of: Next Generation's "Power Play," Deep Space Nine's "The Passenger," Voyager's "Vis a Vis" and "Demon" (with its sequel "Course: Oblivion"), and Enterprise's "Observer Effect."
The idea of body-hopping, borrowing someone else's body. That's what "Return to Tomorrow" is all about. It's pretty interesting in this original incarnation. There's even a prototype for Kirk's "Risk is part of the game" quote from Generations.

And sure, it must be noted that the title is hardly a memorable, descriptive, or even evocative one, poetic in a very roundabout way. So that'll be one reason you probably don't remember it. But all told, you probably should.

"Return to Tomorrow" is your typical TOS title. Not one of the best, but typical.
