Hi Jean-Pierre, I was about to point you to dictionaries <https://tiddlywiki.com/#DictionaryTiddlers> and suggest that you use getindex <https://tiddlywiki.com/#getindex%20Operator><>, but now I'm not sure if I understand your issue correctly. One sure thing however: you cannot insert a filter string like <<special-case>> into an existing filter expression by simply referencing the string variable. This is the main reason of the errors you get. Instead, you need to use the subfilter <https://tiddlywiki.com/#subfilter%20Operator> operator.
