HC (and all), here's a place for that adage: "That's not a bug, it's a 
feature!" 

Getting updated by relink is precisely what many of us would *not* want 
"freelinks" to try to do. Freelinks are "soft" links, floating "above" 
tiddler text; though the connection can be recognized, the tiddler text 
itself sits solidly on the ground, unaffected by the presence of the link.

In my academic use case, I have a reason to prefer it that way. There's 
plenty of tiddler text *not* authored by me. It should stay just as it is 
-- relatively "hard" text. The beauty of freelinks is how various implicit 
connections (to concepts I'm discussing) *jump out* of that existing text. 
But if I change the title of one of my concept-discussion tiddlers, I most 
certainly would not want my source texts to get overwritten!

Granted, I might be happy for the *option* to scan and select some places 
where my title-edit should reverberate through some other tiddlers. But if 
variants of freelinks and relink were ever to "shake hands" in this way, 
this must be a clearly marked and optional development, or it will break 
much of what makes freelinks great, for users like myself.
