Thank you, Tony! Well, I don't see that the alias syntax would be already suitable to deal with ids. [[8EBDE50D-090C-40F0-B204-7907B4B1A780|?]] would produce the correct link, but you would have to click on "8EBDE50D-090C-40F0-B204-7907B4B1A780" to get to the tiddler. So, it would not be an "ugly" link.
I would not be very happy to see only the created date in the wikitext when producing links. 20180504211727876 is almost as unreadable as "8EBDE50D-090C-40F0-B204-7907B4B1A780". Here I support Jeremy's strive for readability. I agree, that a small search field in the EditorToolbar would be helpful. There you could enter a part of a tiddler title, get a drop-down, where you could select the tiddler you have looked for. This would insert a link via the tiddler's id and everyone would be happy. Actually, the click on the title could run a small program: if the corresponding tiddler has the id, then the program would insert the link via the id, and if the selected tiddler doesn't have the id yet, the program would generate the id (e.g., the way my tool generates IDs) and would insert the link via the id! This would be fantastic! The patience of waiting for the right time to generate the id would pay its dividends by producing a very readable ID made out of the already relatively well-chosen title! Whereas in my method you have to click four times to generate the id, confirm it, excise a precise title and insert a linktoid, in the method I described above, you would have to click only twice: to open a search box and to select a title. Moreover, the search function would not require that you should remember the exact title! > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
