Try "[tag<currentTiddler>]" . Might work in some cases.

Study the documentation at tiddlywiki.com, especially the parts about
filters and filter operators. The whole
macro/transclusion/variables/parametres thing is inconsistent. It's not
like a real programming language. I've gotten to the point where about 80%
of the time I can figure out how to do what I want, but still end up
banging head against the table too much of the time, and would be hard
pressed to explain the parts that I do understand.
Use someone else's stuff (like Jed and Stephan) if you can.
Good luck!
