Ed,
If you are going to Role your own, this simple tip may help.
View Template buttons are designed to operate on the current tiddler. So if
you transclude them allowing it to operate on the current tiddler they work.
{{||$:/core/ui/Buttons/edit}}
So if you generate a list and include this you will gain a little edit
button that will open the current tiddler (in the list) if clicked
With transcluded content if you transclude as follows
{{External content}}
the transcluded tiddler is the current tiddler inside the transclusion.
So inside [[External content]] `{{||$:/core/ui/Buttons/edit}}` will make a
button, if clicked, will edit "External Content" tiddler.
So if you make a global macro as follows
\define optional-edit()
<$list filter="[{$:/config/edit-mode}match[yes]]" variable=nul>
{{||$:/core/ui/Buttons/edit}}
</$list>
\end
and place <<optional-edit>>
at the bottom of your external content tiddlers, those transcluded in the
original tiddler, the edit button will appear only if
{$:/config/edit-mode}match[yes]
I know this would be better with out the need to place something in the
excised tiddlers, and I have a mechanism I discovered but needs more work.
Its based on Parsing the output
of https://tiddlywiki.com/#transclusion%20Variable

Tony
