Hi everyone,
I want to create *twin tiddlers* or mirror tiddlers or clone tiddlers.
*What's that?* Different tiddlers (with different title) that look exactly
the same in view mode: same title, same tags, same text, same fields.
*What for?* As a time saver. I want different ways to refer to the same
tiddler without needing to always specify its exact title inside the
brackets.
*For instance,* I would like the links: [[Darwinism]], [[darwinism]],
NeoDarwinism, NaturalSelection, [[natural selection]], [[theory of
evolution]] all refer to the same tiddler (or different twin tiddlers with
the same content in view mode) without needing to specify:
[[darwinism|Darwinism]], [[NaturalSelection|Darwinism]], [[theory of
evolution|Darwinism]], etc.
*How to do that?*
1. As a first step, I can imagine two solutions to say which tiddler is
a twin and which is the "original" (the one I want to see in view mode)
- using a field called "twin" or "mirror" whose content is the title of
the "original" tiddler.
- using a list field in the "original" tiddler with a list of its
twins.
2. As a second step, it would be necessary to change the ViewTemplate in
order to display the content of the "original" tiddler each time I open one
of its twins.
(I really don't know how to do this second step because I barelly
understand the content of $:/core/ui/ViewTemplate)
*One shortcomming* I see with this method is that the filters "tagging",
"backlinks", etc., will not follow the mirroring. I think it is still
possible to see how many tiddlers are tagging or refering to the original
tiddler through its twins, but it would need a more complex filtering.
What do you think about this idea?
Alberto
