G'day jtolle, and welcome to TiddlyWikiHood ! I suggest using the "DetailsWidget" plugin <https://tid.li/tw5/plugins.html#DetailsWidget>. Instead of using bullets, use a DetailsWidget at each place you would use a bullet. For details related to the summary info, place the details inside the widget. When viewing, just pop open a DetailsWidget to see the details.
Without digging into the inner-workings of the following example (slightly different use case and complicated setup), imagine your tiddler setup a little bit like this <https://intertwingularityslicendice.neocities.org/CJ_AdhdSliceAndDice.html#An%20ADHD%20medication%20journey> . If you are interested, please give an example of a detailed session recap along with a bulleted summary, and I'll do a quick mockup redone with DetailsWidget plugin, so you can see what I'm thinking along with the related tiddler content/setup.
