Just a very gentle note that the way you’ve expressed this paragraph makes it read as an implicit criticism of the approach taken by somebody else in the thread. That kind of thing gets in the way of the points you’re trying to raise, and I’d urge you to reread postings to make sure your meaning is clear without criticising others. If you feel that people aren’t listening to your ideas then the most constructive response is to focus on expressing them clearly and concisely. > Any tiddler could be parsed for any tiddler title but the performance > requirements will grow with the number of tiddlers.

I think you’re suggesting that we give users the ability to limit the tiddlers to which freelinks are created. That’s certainly a potential performance improvement under consideration. > Also once an "autolink" is established what about making it permanent with > square brackets added to the text. Do you mean that the square brackets would be inserted any time a freelink is created? Would they be removed if the target tiddler ceases to exist? It sounds like a hybrid between the two approaches we’ve discussed: * The dynamic approach taken by the plugin where freelinks are ephemeral, and created as required * The static approach of automatically creating explicit links when saving a tiddler Best wishes Jeremy > > Sometimes going 10% further produces a result that can be deployed in a wider > range of situations because it can be scaled to the use case. > > Regards > Tony > > On Tuesday, December 31, 2019 at 4:31:07 AM UTC+11, springer 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 > <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.
