Hi Mark

It’s much easier to whizz through all tiddlers looking for all the field names 
with a given prefix, and assign a new value, than it is to do a search and 
replace across the text field. The particular problem with search and replace 
is that it is very brittle. If I have a tiddler called “tiddler”, say, and 
rename it, I don’t want all the “<$tiddler>” widgets to also be reassigned.

Exactly that, it would be a very modest extension of the existing relinking 
code.
