Marion, Requirements to support unique-ID's
As discussed elsewhere It would be great to get Uni-links help support Unique IDs for tiddlers. I believe it may be a quite simple modification. Current - Assuming a tiddler has a unique-id field is is currently only a matter of adding the unique ID to the aliases list. - Then this tiddler can always be referred to as [[20180601231113983|?]] regardless of any future name. - However this currently displays as a link 20180601231113983 <http://127.0.0.1:8088/Development/disposition.html#Test%20Tiddler%20with%20ID%20as%20alias%20New%20Name>, Ideally this would display the subtitle, caption and title before and instead of the alias. Unique ID support - To assist and generalise perhaps there could be an alt-name field in tiddlers that one could populate (with the Unique-id) and other alternative names, or even name the unique-id field - As far as I can see the only difference to an alias is the display tittle would be the current (subtitle, caption or title} of the tiddler containing the alias. - In its own field or included in the list of aliases the user just needs to honour the convention (make it unique, and not edit or delete this value) which you could recover by searching for its use anyway, and if not used simply regenerated. I think a Editor Tool bar option to support the tiddler selection of using (the current) tiddler name (with an alt-name) but inserts an alias to the alt-name not the tiddler title. I think I can make this. What would be seriously nice is if we could transclude a tiddler using its Alias or uniqueID because even templates and other special tiddlers could become name independent. Transcluding items by their alias could allow the alias to change where it is set (ie change the relevant tiddler) or permit multiples to be trancluded because they share the alias. This would be a simpler way to replicate the behaviour of display items tagged such as in view and page templates, without using tags.
