Javier, First I believe this solution can be found without Javascript, or should be with a tweak.
Ah, believe it or not importing it is likely more difficult. In Ayesha's post it is said *"How can I convert the following HTML code (which can display the verse but not practical in the Tiddler) into Javascript Macro code above to display the actual verse instead of just the link:"* To me if the content needs to be refactored, in many ways it needs to be "imported" not just displayed. You can use html in tiddlers, to bring in external content to display out of the box. Using iframes and html object tag. For example you can import CSS. if you open the link http://api.alquran.cloud/v1/ayah/2:2/en.asad you can see the content is being returned in the browser. I believe if that content is JSON or something else which needs further formatting you need to "import the content", so you can then process it in the wiki. Of course if the content was static html it could be displayed directly. I am confident a simpler way to bring and display this external content exists. Sure I cant express it very well. A solution to this through wikitext and not bespoke Javascript is desirable for us all and future requirements. Basically we are asking to use standards html links to reference external content, and in this case then have it interpreted rendered. In this example it needs to be converted from JSON to Wikitext and then rendered. Yes I am trying to help outside my expertise.
