What you want to do is to retrieve the 'text' content from the tiddler, and then use it as the display text for a link to that tiddler. However, you can't use the <<tiddler>> macro to retrieve the value, because TW macros don't "return text" that is then processed... rather, they directly render their own output. Thus, you can't embed macros calls within other TW syntax. Unfortunately, there is no direct syntax in TW that allows you to fetch and embed a tiddler field value (e.g. the 'text' field) within the TW link syntax. Fortunately, I've written a plugin that let's you do exactly that (and more): http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#WikifyPlugin http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#WikifyPluginInfo Using the <<wikify>> macro, you can then write: <<wikify "[[%0|TiddlerName]]" text@TiddlerName>> The first param, "[[%0|TiddlerName]]" is the 'format' for the output, where %0 marks the 'insertion point' for embedding the value retrieved from the tiddler. The second param, "text@TiddlerName" is the plugin- defined reference for the desired tiddler field content (i.e., fieldname@TiddlerName). The macro gets the value from the tiddler and then constructs the indicated TW syntax (in this case, a "pretty link"). The result is then automatically rendered, producing the desired link output.
