Is it remotely possible to add internal handling of something like symbolic link tiddlers such that a link tiddler, when referenced in any capacity (link, transclusion template, etc.) is seamlessly dereferenced to its target first? Links should be nestable, so if the target of a link is also a link it dereferences again, etc. Though then there would have to be a check for cycles ... hmm.
This would sidestep the renaming / refactoring that is listed in the future plans. If you want your tiddler to have a new name you just create a new tiddler with that name and all the properties you want it to have, then turn the original into a "symlink" tiddler. More importantly it would allow for circumstances where a tiddler has more than one correct name. E.g. suppose you are keeping a TW of plants and each tiddler is titled with its proper latin name, but you still want to be able to [[link]] to it by its common name. Elegantly, it would also handle the case where a tiddler has a whole list of correct names, for which I can't come up with a good example! I'm happy to try implementing something like this if you can point me in the right direction.
