Something I find myself doing often, when I have a tiddler that lists other tiddlers with a tag, is create a button which makes a new tiddler with that tag pre-populated. For example, on a page that lists tickets, a button that makes new tickets.
The way I usually do that is with an action message widget, so that I can do something like this: > <$button>New Ticket > <$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler" title="New Ticket" > tags="ticket" /> > </$button> But it'd be nice if I could tuck all that into the button tag instead of needing a separate action-sendmessage tag. But all I can do inside a button is pass one parameter to the tm-new-tiddler message, and that must be a name of a template. That's cool, I can make a NewTicketTemplate with that tag already added! But wait, if I do that, that template is going to show up every time I list tickets unless I explicity exclude it. That's a way bigger drag than having to do the action-sendmessage. I'm just wondering, have I correctly assessed my options, or is there an easier still way to do this? Obviously I can make the whole problem (which isn't much of a problem) go away with a macro, I'm just wondering if I'm missing some clever tiddlywiki-fu that would make the template idea work better.
