Colleagues,

after studying Felicia's contribution, it became immediately obvious that 
my initial tiddler structure was the problem in that my trial wiki added 
the artwork title as the tiddler title, which as I replied to Jed can't be 
correct since we can not guarantee the uniqueness of the artwork title. So, 
I changed the tiddler title to be the unique id, ie. BJ2, and this required 
changes to the artwork template for displaying details of an artwork since 
the user really only wants to see the artwork title and not the tiddler 
title. so underneath the artwork image, we now display the line of 

artwork_title, artwork_medium, artwork_size, artwork_yearofcreation

as is expected in a 'normal' caption.

Now this immediately made the following code work correctly.

<$list 
filter="[tag[Artworks]!<currentTiddler>search:purchased_by{!!title}sort[title]]">&bull;
 
<$link to={{!!artwork_id}}><$view 
field="artwork_title"/></$link><br/></$list>

The important bit is the $view statement as that 'transcludes' the 
artwork_id with the artwork_title on display but links using the artwork_id 
and so correctly displays the correct artwork when clicked.

I guess a concern may be the search statement when the number of tiddlers 
gets very large but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

I am looking at the Generic Tag plugin and seeing if this provides a more 
useful mechanism.

Thanks to all for your input.
