You can probably make a macro to call like <<link "Bob Ross">> and the macro checks up what type of tiddler "Bob Ross" is and acts accordingly. Maybe the $LinkWidget can also show wikitext tooltips that uses the current title (i.e the linked to title) as argument - I don't know if this is possible.
What I would much rather see - so it doesn't disturb the workflow when authoring - is a direct logic that is invoked when using the [[...]] syntax, because this syntax is "the smooth one". It could be attached to some template but what exact template to apply could be customized based on some characteristic of what is linked. E.g "Bob Ross" is tagged Contact so the contacttemplate is used. Maybe it could even specify what happens when the link is clicked! This would make it possible to have [[bobross]] [[BobRoss]] and [[Bob Ross]] all navigate to [[Bob Ross]]. Just maybe PMarios linking plugin, whose name just escapes me, uses something like this... <:-) On Tuesday, March 23, 2021 at 11:41:26 AM UTC+1 Stobot wrote: > I had an idea today and am trying to figure out how difficult it would be > to do.
