You're trying to concatenate and pass a parameter. Usually when you need to
concatenate, you need to invoke a macro. But you already have a macro, so
you can revise that one:
\define modal_link(name prefix)
<$macrocall $name="render_modal_link" title="""$name$""" tidd=
"""$prefix$/$name$"""/>
\end
and then, maybe, invoke it like this:
<<modal_link {{!!slot0}} "Spell/DnD5e">>
if that doesn't work, you might need to invoke it as a macro call:
<$macrocall $name="modal_link" name={{!!slot0}} prefix="Spell/DnD5e"/>
Without seeing your code, it's hard to know for sure what will work, what
will need to be done. Hopefully this will do it ;-)
