The easiest way to provide access to overridden shadow tiddlers would be to add a "plugin" attribute to the transclude widget. If it specifies a valid plugin tiddler, then the specified tiddler within that plugin would be transcluded. For example: <$transclude plugin="$:/core" tiddler="$:/sometiddler"/> The example would transclude the specified tiddler from within the core plugin, regardless of whether that tiddler has been overridden by another tiddler. > What other strategies are there to manipulate shadow/system tids but > minimize upgrade consequences?

But if you want to modify or replace the existing functionality the need to override at least one shadow tiddler is unavoidable.
