Hi Springer Welcome back! There has been some discussion about freelinking in TW5 a few years ago:
https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/1342 The following comment gives the outline of a solution that I still think is viable: to make the text widget apply the autolinking at render time. https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/1342#issuecomment-71869414 I'll try to give it some time over the next couple of days, Best wishes Jeremy -- Jeremy Ruston [email protected] https://jermolene.com > On 30 Dec 2019, at 17:31, springer <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Tony asked about RedirectMacro, and I realized that my answer was going to > hijack his thread about transclusion. > > RedirectMacro can be found here: > http://checkettsweb.com/styles/themes.htm#RedirectMacro > > In TW Classic, this plugin made for entirely seamless internal linking, no > need for double-brackets nor CamelCase.
