That's right. The reference mechanism parses the tiddler source (one level 
deep) and looks for a "type: link" combination in the AST 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_syntax_tree>, produced by 
[[link-syntax]]

Since a macro call isn't a link, it isn't seen. .. That's "kind of" desired 
behaviour, since link-references should show up in tiddlers that define the 
link and not where they are eg: transcluded. ... 

But IMO they main reason is performance. ... If you would search deeper it 
would be incredibly slow and recursion problems will come up immediately.

What do you try to achieve?
