Hi Ste

Thanks for playing with Tiddlyblink, and for your feedback.

The instructions share about hiding certain tiddlers from appearing in 
other tiddler's references. But your question is the opposite: hiding all 
references from appearing under a tiddler. One obvious hack is adding even 
one letter to your tiddler title to hide references. A tiddler title of 
"Force -" or "Force x" will not show references to "Force". So any way you 
can make your tiddler title unique from anything you would write in other 
tiddlers will keep the references area clean. "Term:" or "Article:" could 
be a prefix. Not sure what might meet your needs.

>From your comments and from Mark's, I think it would be helpful for me to 
distinguish between references to the current tiddler in links and in 
regular text. Roam does this, and TiddlyBlink does not. Actually, I am not 
even sure if references in regular text are worth the unhelpful results 
that get shown. I think limiting references to backlinks would be more 
practical and precise. So later this week I may remove the references to 
regexp, and add instructions on how to reinsert it for those who want it. I 
have a couple other unrelated ideas for improving TB, too.

The transclusion options are great for displaying short tiddlers - I use it 
for seeing notes and excerpts I grab from books, and I use links to 
indicate both the source and the topics. But the transclusions are a pain 
for people who have long tiddlers. This is where Roam has a distinct 
advantage over TB, because it only transcludes the actual blocks (bullet 
points) that contain the word, not the entire page that contains the block. 
Many people, I think, will prefer to title their tiddlers and use either 
the simple links or the collapsed transclude view in TiddlyBlink, and only 
turn on transclusion only in certain cases.

Hope this is helpful!
