[These thoughts have been hinted previously, not least during @Jed and my discussions on TWederation. The idea with a filter operator is new though, AFAIK]
Would it be possible with a a filter operator that ouputs a link but really also builds a bundle (where the link is the title to the bundle)? I use the term "bundle" because it is closely related to what @Jed has already implemented but also because if the idea here were implemented it would probably replace the current manifestation of bundles; anyway, the idea is a titlelink that serves as a *collective reference* in a more *physical *sense. If we compare a title link to a tag (i.e a pure tag, not a tiddler title) then you can do things with tiddler(-titles) but not really with tags. The idea I'm after is to merge the two so that you have a kind of collective lable that you can manipulate and it translates into manipulating the associated tiddlers.To* batch manage* tiddlers. For example (and this is the original use case from the discussions with @Jed), the resulting titlelink can be dragged between TWs like any other titlelink. This would make it super easy for anyone to create a kind of light version of a plugin (very much like Jeds bundles). ..but any kind of batch processing could be imagined. Now, opening (clicking on) such a link could - I imagine - open either of; 1. that set of tiddlers (i.e as if you were opening a permaview) 2. one compound tiddler that shows the input tiddlers as if one document (think text-slicer edition) 3. possibly, like with plugins, merely the input title links I guess it depends on intended use for it; as a way to serve a tiddler document (#1) or more of a traditional document (#2) or just for e.g drag'n drop transferral of tids (#3). Example syntax: [tag[foo]prefix[bar]] +bundle[MyBundle]] The output is the bundle, here titled MyBundle "containing" the filtered tiddlers. If no bundle name is provided, a default name could be applied. Or maybe the syntax could be with the bundle operator outside of the filter. Maybe they'd even make sense as an alternative to tagpills - i.e they, just like tag(pills) serve as category lables but you could also dragn drop them. If anyone were to implement it, a thought is that it seems to have some similarities with the listed filter operator.
