You can make a list of tiddlers that are supposed to be viewed in order. 
Add this macro (or a variation of it) by Mohammed 
(https://kookma.github.io/TW-Utility/#demo%2Fsimple-navigation). This adds 
navigation to those tiddlers, so users can press 'previous' and 'next' 
buttons to go back and forth in a linear manner. You can then ofcourse 
style the buttons however you please.
What makes this macro pretty handy is that it uses the order that is in the 
tag-dropdown list. You can drag-and-drop tiddlers in that list to change 
the order. So it is easy to rearrange and order your tiddlers, without 
changing links you've made in the text.
