Lorenz Someone recently mentioned the ctrl-l in edit text allows you to insert a link to a tiddler. This uses the toolbar button $:/core/ui/EditorToolbar/link which has its main code in $:/core/ui/EditorToolbar/link-dropdown
The reason I mention this is if it were reworked it could be used to insert tiddler names into fields and do so after first filtering. Eg Adding a parent to a child let us select only from people tiddlers. and other refined methods like tiddlers with the same surname.
