I would like to do the following instead: once TiddlyWiki realizes
that the tiddler named MyName does not exit, it should search the
tags. If a tag by that name exists, then it should list all the
tiddlers tagged with MyName. Otherwise it should revert back to the
default behaviour above.
The TW core already supports the basic tags can be tiddlers concept
straight out of the box with a plain TiddlyWiki. When you view a
tiddler whose title is also used as a tag, that tiddler automatically
displays a 'tagging:' list.
However, perhaps you are suggesting that *instead* of opening a non-
existent tag tiddler and displaying the list of tiddlers there,
clicking the link should display a standard TW tag dropdown (i.e.
treat the link, [[FooBar]] as if it was the macro, tag FooBar).
Of course, this would prevent you from being able to subsequently use
open/edit/done to create the tag tiddler later on. However, there
are many TW documents that employ extensive tags without ever creating
any corresponding tag tiddlers for them. For those use-cases, the
alternative behavior described above for links to non-existent tag
tiddlers has some real utility.
I think it should be reasonable easy to hook the necessary logic into
the 'onclick' handler for the tiddler link... gimme a bit to look into
it and I might have a quick code-based solution for you
