I have a temporary solution for this problem until plugin gets updated, 1. Use freelinks plugin and TWcrosslink at the same time. The freelink plugin highlights all the freelinks in blue and then we can add directlinks for important ones only (you dont want every repeated word in same tiddler to get directlink right?)
Why temporary? because, Issue 1. The freelink plugin on version 5.1.22 doesnt have option of ignore case (it works on prerelease 5.1.23). So it highlights only case sensitive words. TWcrosslinks is not case sensitive(thanks to Tony K) but it doesnt highlight. Issue 2. I found that Tiddlymap doesnt work with freelinks plugin, there are javascript errors. So you have to choose between any one, for me its freelink as i dont need tiddlymap much. I think there is some compatibility issue between Tmap and freelink(in 5.1.22) cant say that for 5.1.23.
