This seems to be like a question TT might ask, "What is a document?"
In this case, a document is a series of tiddlers chained together by a common tag. Once you have found a tiddler, you have also found the tag and can reconstruct the entire "document". It doesn't matter what the name of the original tiddler was when it was invoked, just like it doesn't matter that you don't have parchment in the printer when printing the Declaration of Independence. To me it helps solve the problem of cognitive dissonance you have when editing a large document, and having to constantly match the preview or the displayed document versus the text you're actually working on. That said, I'm thinking of putting an option on the bottom of the "document" to generate a tiddler with the complete text and maybe links back to the "document" tiddler. Another possibility would be to add a "document" search to the advanced search, but I don't see much use for that until someone has actually written multiple documents with NotoWritey. Thanks!
