Hi David, searching around for ways to integrate some bibliographic system (Bibtex is preference) with TW5 --- came across this thread. Have you made any progress using JabRef? Seems to me that a custom layout would allow an entire JabRef dbase to be integrated into TW -- perhaps using the Bibekey as the tiddler title? And perhaps adding some custom fields in JabRef as tags?
Thanks, //steve.
