You didn't miss anything obvious, but you need an extra step. I stumbled on 
this mostly by accident but you need to use a set widget and then reference 
the variable in a macro like this:

\define genurl() http://somesite/$(url_part)$

<$set name=url_part value={{!!somefield}}>
<a href=<<genurl>> >{{!!someotherfield}}</a>
</$set>

There are examples in the code of 
http://inmysocks.tiddlyspot.com/#YouTube%20Video%20Annotations

I am not sure why this way works and the other way doesn't, I think it is 
because the set widget takes the target of the reference but the macro just 
inserts the text reference ( so {{!!somefield}} ) directly without 
evaluating anything.
