Thank you very much Mario and Jeremy. I have proposed the additional
cascade on github <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/6510>,
hopefully it can be implemented in one of the future upgrades.
Coming back to the main topic, is there a standard way to
reference/transclude a shadow tiddler that was replaced by a standard
tiddler?
This would make possible overwriting a shadow tiddler with a standard
tiddler that is *dynamically derived from the shadow itself*, even after a
plugin upgrade.
Example:
1. user overwrites the shadow $:/plugin/some-tiddler with a standard
tiddler of the same title
2. the original shadow tiddler can be accessed/referenced with the
title $:/plugin/some-tiddler/overwritten (or an equivalent way)
3. the user can write wikitext inside $:/plugin/some-tiddler which
references $:/plugin/some-tiddler/overwritten , e.g. through something like
{{{ [{$:/plugin/some-tiddler/overwritten}search-replace["text to
replace"],["replace with this"]] }}}
4. when there is a plugin upgrade, $:/plugin/some-tiddler/overwritten
gets automatically updated. If the new version is different, a log reminds
the user to review the diff to check that things aren't broken.
5. if the plugin upgrade makes the customisation obsolete, the user can
simply delete $:/plugin/some-tiddler
Thank you all,
Dam
