Hi Amy, Three things I can think of:
1. With Streams you can transclude a node into another tiddler with Shift + Drag&Drop. 2. There is a plugin called Edit-CompText <https://snowgoon88.github.io/TW5-extendedit/> that displays a list of possible tiddlers as you type out a link. You can then select one of these tiddlers and it will be automatically added as a link. It might be possible to modify it so that you can search/display the text of tiddlers instead of the titles, but still add the actual title on selection. That explanation might not be very clear because its kind of difficult to describe, but if you play about with the plugin you should see what I mean. Note: I tried to do something like this but whenever I edited the config file I got a javascript error message. Maybe someone else can step in and help here? 3. If a node contains a useful idea that you might want to reference often, I find that it is often useful to give it a name anyway. I think that this can actually help in reusing the information as it gives you a kind of 'hook' that helps you to latch onto the idea. Andy Matuschak talks about this here <https://notes.andymatuschak.org/Evergreen_note_titles_are_like_APIs>.
