Mat, I feel you pain on this one but here is an idea for a possible work around. If I understand your requirement properly.
*Trying to identify what is a link and what is not a link* How do you define a link? - Rather than consider the square brackets as the indicator of a link perhaps test it again, does the tiddler exist? - The Default `<$link/>` will create a link from currentTiddler regardless of if the tiddler exists or not - The following filters (From memory) should allow you to use `<$link/>` only if the tiddler exists - "[<currentTiddler>has[title]]" "[<title-var>]!is[missing]]" "[<title-var>]is[tiddler]]" and more can be constructed. Just a thought Regards Tony On Tuesday, April 14, 2020 at 5:04:30 PM UTC+10, Mat wrote: > > Why, actually, does listing something also forcefully convert it into a > link?
