Hello Tony,
Thanks for the macro. This is fantastic! It solves a problem that I had on
the back burner: inheritance of properties from superclasses. However,
there will still be cases where a property needs to refer to another
tiddler that isn't referenced anywhere else, yet. In these instances the
TiddlyMap functionality I describe would be quite helpful.
You are right that there are many ways to solve a problem in TiddlyWiki.
I'm constantly wondering whether what I'm doing is the best way or whether
there might be a better way to implement. I guess it's part of the
experience.
Thanks again,
Lorenz
