I presume you are calling this macro with
<<mymacro>> and some times
<<mymacro "tiddlername">>
In your macro you can use $(currentTiddler)$ to access a value from where
the macro was "called"
\define mymacro()
<$set name="myvar" tiddler="tiddler1" index="$(currentTiddler)$">
<$list filter="[$:/.somewhere/<myvar>]">{{||$:/.somewhere/templates/
mytemplate}}</$list>
</$set>
\end
However is the tiddler title a legitimate index?
Also you could do this to default to the current tiddler unless tiddlername
is provided
\define mymacro(tiddlername)
<$set name=index-name value="$tiddlername$" emptyValue="$(currentTiddler)$">
<$set name="myvar" tiddler="tiddler1" index=<<index-name>> >
<$list filter="[$:/.somewhere/<myvar>]">{{||$:/.somewhere/templates/
mytemplate}}</$list>
</$set></$set>
\end
However I will add that it can depend on how you call the macro. The most
guaranteed way is with the macrocall widget, that allows you a wider range
of parameter sources
<$macrocall $name=mymacro index1={{!!title}} />
<$macrocall $name=mymacro tiddlername=<<avarwithtiddlername>>/>
Id did not have the setup to test the above.
