Mark and Mohammad,

Yes, that is correct, editing for the parent links is done in edit mode, 
just as tags are. Manually insert parent topic links in the hideme span 
with the help of the comptext. I am curious to know what aspect about the 
layout acted as a cue to make both of you think that editing would be done 
in view mode.

The up and down arrows in view mode are to help you navigate 'up' to parent 
topics and 'down' to subtopics and related topics. The buttons are to hide 
/ reveal the links. Reasons for hiding: you want to print / view the 
contents of the tiddler minus the links, or maybe your file is slowing down 
and you think hiding the list filter (may?) help with that.
