Bob, If the tiddlers title is unique it could be as simple as artworkname, artworkname 1 ... However if you set the caption, captions need not be unique. They show in lists. In your source example I could only see a one to many relationship. Truth is tags are good at this, but I too try not

Folks, Inspired elsewhere, I had this idea, and wonder if some of you are familiar with techniques that may help build a "Tiddler title generator" - Has anyone worked out a way to use heuristics from the text in a tiddler, to come up with a *caption or title *that reflects the content?

Luke, As I understand it when a link is inside a define it becomes a macro and thus is not considered a link, the macro is "interpreted" then rendered and the result could be anything. I think this is why, perhaps by design, such links do not appear. Macros are also often defined elsewhere and
