Thanks Tony The storyline arc will have a small bit of accompanying description. The items would be tiddlers that describe the item, then get locations and states over time.
As for characters and locations, yes, they will be manually referenced. Think of this as a book being a person. The prose is flesh. This TW is to build the skeleton, to make sure all the bones connect in the right place and move properly. While the TW instance is being populated, there will be no prose. I agree entirely with the concept of tiddlers as object-types. But that's also where this all seems to fall down for me - the talk about it suggests its possible, but I can see no documentation on how to actually achieve it. >From what I've seen, a tiddler has a single generic structure: name, body, tags, name-value-pair fields. As object types, I would need to somehow customise that structure, and be able to instantiate a tiddler of type X, rather than just a generic tiddler. If I am using fields to associate, for examples, characters with a scene, I would need a multi-select tag-based input, but with it limited to only the character tags. GenTags looks like it might do that, though there's then the question of making the tags available (say for the four character-in-scene fields) when a character type tiddler is created. The challenge I'm facing with all these TOC solutions is that they look fine in principle, as a TOC. But when it comes to mapping how they work into a real-world scenario, there's either no explanation, it's all explained in jargon, or they are too fragile. (I spent a couple of minutes playing with TWOutlier, in which time I managed to break it, simply by opening a tiddler both standalone, and within the outliner at the same time.)
