Charlie et al.
I think serial numbers on tiddlers and not shadows is fine for 90% of
possible actions. As I suggested there are ways to store info for a
tiddler, outside the tiddler, and that's what a system serial numbers tool
would be about. A few people here have suggested there is no use, but I am
not sure they have put their imagination to work on it yet.
- When cloning (not renaming) we need to generate a new serial number,
it would be easy to use old and new serial numbers to track the source
tiddler and what was cloned from it, especially useful with code and system
tiddlers.
- Documenting the system tiddlers involves some long tiddlernames, space
could be saved using a link based on serial number.
- Analysis of new and missing serial numbers would help us see changes
across tiddlywiki versions.
- Actually its always being hard/impossible to see deleted tiddlers
(without a trash plugin), a serial number solution could support this.
And more I am sure.

In relation to your solution Charlie, that was complete out of the box
then, placing a filter in the URL? Any field or value that can be put in
the url then? Cool, tiddlywiki already does it then.
