Tony, and Felix,
Thank you for the information! I am working on using Felix's example to create a javascript function I can call with two preexisting nodes and an existing type selected from a list. I will post my solution when I have it but wanted to say thank you first! Also Felix, I really wasn't expecting the person who actually made TiddlyMap to respond. You and your creation are amazing! Danke schön!
