Hi Jeremy,

Thank you for your detailed answer.
Is this something a neophyte like me could do? I tried to set a breakpoint
at getTiddlerList
<https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/1e02df61d0e3ec4158536376c0888f4d589b41be/core/modules/widgets/list.js#L64>
and I spent a couple of hours to follow from there to no avail.
I would rely on this new feature for my tiddlywiki at work, but no hurry,
so far I managed without.

Best regards,
michele
