Yes. This is exactly why I wrote JsonMangler (the "Manger" part came from one of the core features that has been downplayed, the ability to compress multi-level Json into a 1 level deep object with "path":"value" pairs. The path syntax is "/" to be consistent with the "system tiddler" naming convention in TW.
The current demo wiki/docs are located here: https://chronicles.wiki/TW5-JsonMangler/ You can use "index-path syntax" in any existing filter or widget. (Note: Stable on 5.1.23, I have not tested against the recent pre-release). Mahalo (thanks) for trying my plugin!
