I think I figured it out using the set widget.
<$set name=redoneplanet filter="[prefix[{!!planet}]]" value="<$link
to={{!!planet}}>{{!!planet}}</$link>" emptyValue={{!!planet}}>
<<redoneplanet>>
</$set>
This way, when the planet field does not have square brackets, a link is
created to the tiddler of the same name. If it does have brackets (and as
a tiddler title doesn't exist), then it is simply transcluded as-is.
