This confuses me using hard links as a term and more, and having to decode your work already. I would find it much easier if you tried to explain what you want to do without including partial solutions that may very well be wrong. I suspect there is already a way to do what you are asking but its really not clear. Some notes that may help - The new Journal button creates a tiddler according to the format set i n $:/config/NewJournal/Title - Creating it a gain on the same day will open the same tiddler if that does not have the time in the format - You can set Text for new journal tiddlers and Tags for new journal tiddlers - Personally I have a Modified new Journal button that also adds the journal-date field using a Tiddlywiki timestamp format. - This it is easy to list and link to a tiddler by date rather than stuff around with interrogating the user friendly Journal tiddler title. - Every tiddle can be linked to using its title [[title with spaces]] and you can also get a permalink for each tiddler if you need to post it somewhere else. - One any journal tiddler you can use the new here button to create another tiddler tagged with the current journal tiddler to group other tiddlers around a specific date. use the below list to list these "today" related tiddlers in your journal tiddler - See http://bjtools.tiddlyspot.com/#ExtendableCalendar as one example of solutions for calendars already. <$list filter="[tag<currentTiddler>]"> </$list> This can be placed on every tiddler tagged Journal using a tiddler tagged $:/tags/ViewTemplate like this <$list filter="[all[current]tag[Journal]]" variable=nul> <$list filter="[tag<currentTiddler>]"> </$list> </$list> Note should work but untested. Variable=nul stops the list changing CurrentTiddler. Look for the pickaday plugin to insert future dates at least into a field, which may be better than in the text, you can then display the value like this <$view field=journal-date format=date template="YYYY-0MM-0DD"/> or relative date. Again better in the view template. By the way there are a number of todo list solutions already out there. Sure we can make a pikaday Editor Toolbar button if we want, but there are other perhaps better ways to deal with this.
