Alternatively, you could add a new button to the tiddler "ViewToolbar"
that, when clicked after save of your tiddler, finds all links in the text
of the tiddler that are links to tiddlers that do not yet exist, and then
creates each one of those tiddlers with default values. Assuming every
single new tiddler you ever create gets the same defaults.
If different tiddlers get different defaults, then you would want the links
to have something in the tiddler titles to say what kind of tiddlers they
are.
For example:
- [[John Doe s]] to indicate student
- [[John Doe t]] to indicate teacher
- [[Physics 101 c]] to indicate class
- [[D232 cr]] to indicate class room
So the button goes through each link in the tiddler, determines whether or
not the tiddler related to the link exists. If the link is to a tiddler
that does not exist, then get the last part of the tiddler title to
determine tiddler "type", and create that tiddler with all of the default
values for that type.
