Mat, Yes, I realise now I can use the select widget to create the list field the first time its used.
Trigger actions on opening any or selected tiddlers is a re-occuring request I cant solve myself because there are many ways to open - ie navigate to a tiddler. What If I open many tiddlers at once, I still want the actions to be honored. My OT was a specific Question but the background is I am trying to make lists a first class citizen. I would not keep anything from the community so here is what I am doing. - My First project is to be able to add any tiddler to any selected list. I have a Select widget conditionally appearing in the view toolbar - You can use this to select a list, then if the tiddler is not in that list a + will add it, if it is in that list - will remove it. - The key feature here is you can add tiddlers to a list without changing them, unlike a tag would, thus if they are shadow tiddlers they will not be overridden. Subsequent to the creation of the list I can use them as input to other processes including open, export, delete, trash, annotate and more. You could think of them as no touch tags. Equally I could copy any saved list to the story-list list field to restore the tiddlers selected as a story. I planned to make a special case that saved the storyList to a saved list.
