Yea. ... Implementing this feature and better link styling was needed, to
have a proper plugin. The backside is, that it, at least, trippled the
ammount of code needed. Which also increases complexity. ...

- Create a link to the same tiddler, that contains the code. .. Which
feels strange, if you click the link and not much happens
- Create a link to a "?" tiddler ... Which opens a tiddler titled: ? and
activates a scroll animation.
I choose the second possibility, since I thought, it would be more obvious
for the user, that something - "the alias" is missing.
The link has 2 existing classes assigned, which can be styled: tc-tiddlylink
tc-tiddlylink-missing or tc-tiddlylink tc-tiddlylink-resolves
... but you are right. It may collide with the default styles. .. *Need to
think about it*.

I could have added a ? tiddler, with the following code:
<<list-links "[all[aliases]]">>
or
{{$:/plugins/wikilabs/uni-link/ui/MoreSideBar/Aliases}}
I decided, to not include the ? tiddler, which *I should rethink now. *...

Searching for "missing aliases" will be performance mess. Since you allways
have to touch every tiddler, since any one can have the alias field. This
function can't be cached, while "[is[alias]]" can, which is performant.
We may be able to make the "missing alias" link more visible, so they can
be fixed immediately.

Those 2 functions can't be compared anymore. It's not the same thing. So
it's a feature request ;)

I know. Will have a look.
