@merry.ma I just had a quick question about your process. I was wondering why you were using a field in the tiddler instead of [[MadeupLand]] to create a link? Or, I suppose for that matter, why not simply put the <?link to="MadeupLand"></$link> like you had? Not trying to be rude, truly just being curious about your process. Is there a particular reason or benefit you get from using the value of a field?
Thank you!
