In 5.1.23, links within modals open in the main story. This is what the original behaviour was and what is desirable in most situations. However as of a few versions ago there was a regression and this stopped working, that is links within a modal did nothing at all.
If you want a link within a modal to open inside the same modal, you can set the content of the modal via a transcluded tiddler that derives its value from a state tiddler, and use a linkcatcher to change the value of the state tiddler. To open a tiddler in a modal you need to use a button with the tm-modal message. I did post a tweak a while back that allowed right clicking on a tiddler link to - amongst other things, open a tiddler in a modal. Lastly note that there is an open PR to add actions to the LinkWidget. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
