That’s a very reasonable request, unfortunately, it’s not possible with TW5’s 
current design. It’s to do with the way that wikitext variables work. Widgets 
can define/modify variables and the values of those variables are then 
available within that widget. However, there’s no way to have a variable whose 
value changes between siblings; it isn’t possible to make a macro or widget 
affect the value of a variable in the immediately following text.

(This is actually one of the issues I want to tackle in TWX; it’s a classic 
case of something that is too late to change for TW5 because it would basically 
be a redesign of how widgets and variables work).

Best wishes

Jeremy.
