A little detour from the title/GUID debate: I was wondering, and perhaps I'm not the only one, if someone has already tried to *use uni-link together with modification that displays caption of a tiddler as its name *(effectively using caption as title-shown but not changing title-proper)? I mean what Mark S. hinted upon: "Perhaps the ViewTemplate could be modified to also use the caption or subtitle, reducing confusion."
I think uni-link is a big help with link breakage issue. But I'd also like to view or edit a tiddler while seeing its new title, meaning caption. Otherwise I am not sure uni-link would trump the create-newly-titled-tiddler-and-translude-its-previous-version-into-it or the clone-existing-tiddler-change-its-name-and-link-its-older-version-to-it workarounds for me. Though I don't have the least idea if such a modification of the tiddler's name behaviour is possible or how difficult it would be to make it. Thanks for any suggestions.
