Hi, Good question! I think it would be difficult, but I am not very skilled in javascript, so it may be possible. An alternative is installing a plugin that let you double click the tiddler to edit it [1] and replace <$transclude tiddler=$txt$ > with $txt$ in the comment macro. Then you can simply write <<comment "your comment">> and avoid creating a new tiddler for each comment
