Thanks BTC
Wow! Very neat. It took me a bit to work out how it works. For others
reading: here are the components with a bit more detail...
Global Macro Tiddler, i.e. tagged: $:/tags/Macro titled: anything you want
\define trl(text)
{{$text$||transcludilinktemplate}}
\end
Tiddler titled: "transcludilinktemplate". Note when you save it will
display the message "Recursive transclusion error ..." Don't panic :-). You
can safely ignore it, nothing is actually wrong.
<$list filter="[<currentTiddler>is[missing]]">
<$link to=<<currentTiddler>>><<currentTiddler>></$link>
</$list>
<$list filter="[<currentTiddler>!is[missing]]">
<$transclude/>
</$list>
BTC ... call it with <<trl "tiddler title">> and it's a link as long as the

Test content tiddler ... Title: anything you want ...
Once upon a time there was a [[Roving Tiddler]] called {{Harold}} who knew
how to call <<trl "Harold">> to the table for spagetti.
This renders as ...

> <https://groups.google.com/forum/?pli=1#Roving%20Tiddler> *called who

Note the first "Harold" transclusion doesn't show because it doesn't yet
exist, but BTC macro allows a place holding link for the same transclusion.
Click it and it creates the "Harold" Tiddler. In the text content write
"Gerald" Result ...
Once upon a time there was a Roving Tiddler <#Roving%20Tiddler> called
> Gerald who knew how to call Gerald to the table for spaghetti.
I think this is already really useful for some writing situations. It
really makes sense once you start using it.
AND also, as Mark S., hinted, its illustrative of perhaps a kind of
potential for a few more tools like this. I was amazed at the simplicity of
it. The bang for buck is fantastic.
Thanks, best ...
