Scott,
Quick tip, in your lists above the `<<currentTiddler>>` changes according
to the list filter, that is why {{!!title}} refers to the tiddler in the
list (result of the filter). However you could always use another
variable=other-tiddler in the list statement to keep referring to the
original tiddler, but then you will have to use the <<other-tiddler>>
variable say in the viewWidget to access the other fields in
<<other-tiddler>>.
At anyplace in your wikitext you can set the current tiddler to another,
using the tiddler widget, and this can be driven by a variable
<$tiddler tiddler=<<other-title>> >
In here <<currentTiddler>> = <<other-title>> and {{!!title}} refers to the
title in <<other-title>>
</$list>
Also if you know how to access a tiddler and its field with a filter you
can wrap that filter in triple Curly Braces
eg
{{{[<other-tiddler>get<fieldname>]}}}
Ask more questions once you explore these tips.
