Hey!
I checked, but the problem is that I still need to enter everything
manually. What I want is to be able to simply insert something like
<<tiddlerList tags:"appears {{tiddler.title}}">> . So if the tiddler
was called James, then I would get a list of all the stories where
James appears (like in this case: <<tiddlerList tags:"appears
James">>). The story tiddler of course has the corresponding tag
[[appears James]].
