As you know, TiddlyWiki already allows you to enter [[NameOfTiddler]] to
create a link to a "missing" tiddler.
The only difference in appearance is that the link is shown using italics.
Following that link still opens the tiddler, just as if it exists.
The only differences in appearances are:
* the tiddler title is shown using italics
* it does not display a "modified" date (the tiddler subtitle)
* it shows default fallback text of: Missing tiddler "SomeTiddler" – click
to create.
So... to make missing tiddlers look the same as existing tiddlers, all you
need to do is make a few minor adjustments:
1) remove the italics from the link display and the tiddler title display
by creating a tiddler, tagged with $:/tags/Stylesheet, containing:
a.tc-tiddlylink-missing
{ font-style:initial; }
.tc-tiddler-missing .tc-title
{ font-style:initial; font-weight:300; }
2) remove the default fallback text for missing tiddlers by editing
$:/language/MissingTiddler/Hint
Of course, a missing tiddler still won't appear in lists of existing
tiddlers (e.g., the sidebar "recent" tab),
and this *might* be an issue for lists of links shown by TiddlyBlink but,
as I am not familiar with the
inner workings of TiddlyBlink, I leave this to you to determine.
hope this helps,
