As far as I can remember, chkToggleLinks came in very early in TiddlyWiki's
history - early in 2005, I think, before the TiddlyWiki Google Group was
established.
The feature was suggested by a user, I think with the goal of making it
easier to peek at the target of a link by clicking once to open it and
then clicking again to close it. I wasn't a huge fan of the idea,
personally, but was happy to implement it under an option so that people
could experiment with it.
As time went on I found the feature more and more annoying, probably for
much the same reasons as you're finding: it complicates one of TW's basic
operations, and makes it harder to experiment with changes to related
behaviour. It was one of the features that led to me creating the plugin
mechanism, so that I didn't have to overload the core with every proposed
modification or extension.
Anyhow, I'm not sure whether it's worth taking the feature out at this
point in TW's lifetime, what would you propose?
Best wishes

Hi everyone, especially Jeremy / Eric...
Can anyone explain the reason behind chkToggleLinks?
All I can think of is that it means confusion and... trouble... like the
trouble I had when watching the behaviour in trying to understand what is
happening and how I can prevent it in my plugin.
From my perspective, I would appreciate if this were removed from the core
and only implemented if some functionality actually needed it, but not as a
global setting for all tiddlyLinks.
Single page mode would be a lot more meaningful than this, especially if
you desire to use TW as a website.
Cheers, Tobias.
