At the moment we use tags and fields to define connections between 
tiddlers. 

It would also be possible to define some of this info within a link. eg: If 
you have [[Jack]], [[Joe]], [[Jill]] and [[Jane]] you may know they are 
persons because we have names here. But you don't know more ... 

Let's say the tiddler named: Jack contains 

title: Jack

[? stepson[Joe]], [? daughter[Jill]] and [? wife[Jane]] 

Now we know a lot more, without the need to visit any of the other 
tiddlers. ... It's a patchwork family. 

It feels like an unnecessary complexity, but maybe I'm missing something

With the right code the info above can be extracted, to eg create a family 
tree. .. The advantage is, that no fields or tags are used. 

The tree can grow organically while the content is entered. eg: Joe may 
link to [? father[Stephen]] ... and so on. .. 

That's only 1 example. The initial example in the OP was [? mention[mr A]]  
and [? participant[mr J]] [? participant[mr K]] 

The problem is: TW core doesn't support such information at the moment. ... 
BUT it's interesting to think about it.
