Try this little trick:
At the beginning of each weekly tiddler, put
<$tiddler tiddler=<<currentTab>>
and at the end, put
</$tiddler>
When the weekly tiddler is viewed directly, <<currentTab>> will NOT have a
value, so the <$tiddler> widget will have no effect, and the weekly tiddler
will display as usual. However, when viewed in a tabset (i.e., as part of
the Yearly "roundup" of tiddlers), the <<currentTab>> value WILL be defined
and the <$tiddler> widget will set the <<currentTiddler> value to match the
<<currentTab>> value, instead of having <<currentTiddler>> unchanged (i.e.,
referencing the tiddler in which the tab set is contained).
Note, instead of modifying each and every weekly tiddler to put in this
"wrapper", you could use a template tiddler to automatically add the
<$tiddler>...</$tiddler> widget to each weekly tiddler shown in the tabset,
without editing any of those tiddlers directly.
Start by creating a tiddler (e.g., "YearlyTabsTemplate"), containing:
<$tiddler tiddler=<<currentTab>><$transclude mode="block"/></$tiddler>
Then, in your <<tabs>> macro, specify the "template:" parameter to be used
to render the tabs, like this:
<<tabs .... template:"YearlyTabsTemplate">>
That should do it. Let me know how it goes.
