Yes! That's it! That's exactly what I wanted - a way to transclude (well,
"kind of") a "path tiddler" into a local hyperlink, so that in case one of
the "core folders" is renamed or moved I wouldn't have to search all the
relative hyperlinks throughout the whole wiki and correct it one by one. I
just edit one tiddler with the proper path.
So now with this macro
\define gofolder(text,folderpath,file) <$vars
folder={{$folderpath$}}><<link2file "$text$" "$file$">></$vars>
\define link2file(text,file) [ext[$text$|file:///$(folder)$/$file$]]
and tiddlers [[#MyDocs]], [[#MyImages]], [[#MyData]], [[#Download]] (listed
them all in [[#MyPaths]] tiddler for easier reference)
i can use
<<gofolder "text to show" "#Downloads" "Downloads/somefile.ext">>
<<gofolder "text to show" "#MyDocs" "agreement/doc1.doc">> etc.
and it works! If I change the location of Downloads, I just change 1
Tiddler [[#Downloads]] and all the apropriate links works just fine without
any corrections!
Thanks again, Eric!
