This is outstanding. I feel like it could completely transform how one works with tiddlywikis.
Right now it feels like the learning path for a new tiddlywiki user is * use links because they're easy and basic * realize you can't rename tiddlers without a lot of work -- grab a plugin to fix it, or start looking into tags, which do auto-renaming completely * realize a lot of the most powerful ways of linking things together involves tags, because a tag establishes a two-way link between the tag tiddler and the tagged tiddler, and the relationship persists through renames. At least, that was the path for me. But there's a discontinuity between fluent "writing and linking" and "learning to do things effectively with tags" which requires effort to cross. With this, you get a lot of the benefits that right now require tags, without having to make that extra jump of learning. It keeps things more traditionally wiki-like, text-oriented. I wonder if the future of Tiddlywiki is going to involve incorporating some kind of backlinking. One small downside for me: it's a bummer that the autocomplete plugin doesn't allow you to just click on one of the completions, as opposed to moving down onto them with arrow keys, because I'm often on mobile where I have no arrow keys. Oh well, I can disable that, it's a peripheral issue. I appreciate the fact that it was called out in the tutorial so I knew what was going on there. Anyway, congratulations on this achievement.
