Jean Pierre, The tag $:/tags/macro is used when displaying tiddlers to include the macros you defined in each tiddler as its display. This is a global macro.
Another alternative is to use the ImportVariablesWidget <https://tiddlywiki.com/#ImportVariablesWidget> which allows to bring in definitions from elsewhere without them being global. It allows you to use a filter so you can also use your own tag such as $:/tags/NewMacro. Of course the use of the import variable widget could be in a tiddler tagged view template in which case it may as well be global. I am not sure I understand the rest of your post, please review these references and consider reframing the question. My IT Support experience suggests to me, you are asking us to solve one problem you came across, perhaps while trying to solve another problem, and in fact you need to solve the first problem, not the latest. Lets call this a root cause we need to find.
