Hi Tobias,

> that looks like poor use of double square brackets to me...

Let me suggest a less abstract example, then. Your tb5 site offers a macro 
for colouring text <http://tb5.tiddlyspot.com/#Colored%20Text>. One can 
easily imagine passing a whole sentence, e.g. a warning message, to this 
macro, and that sentence could contain a link. That link would not be 
detected by the link-tracking system that drives the References and Orphans 
tabs.

> There could well be a recommendation to always use single or double 
quotes or triple double quotes for strings and reserve double square 
brackets for tiddler titles only.

But that still wouldn't solve the general case in which a quote-delimited 
parameter can contain a double-square-bracketed link as *part* of its 
content.

> Perhaps "tiddler-links", or TiddlyLinks but not "static links".

I agree that "static" isn't the right word, but the alternatives you 
suggest could apply equally well to links generated on the fly by macros 
and widgets and whatnot. Perhaps we could speak of a "literal" link – a 
link that is literally present in the text field of a tiddler.
