Ideally, the way to do this would be to put the references in their own tiddlers. The problem is the auto-numbering ... since you can't know the numbering in advance. The workaround is to use a javascript macro, that can keep track of references internally.
This is a proof of concept. It adds a JS macro, autoref.
Parameter: tiddler
Tiddler to be accessed. Or, can also contain number of tiddler
Parameter: action
"link" (to link a tiddler to a number)
"ref" (to access the tiddler assigned to the number,
or number assigned to the tiddler)
"max" (to access the current max reference number)
Default is "max".
Be sure to backup your TW before trying (or better yet, use in an empty TW
file).
This shows how the concept can work with numbered references. The idea is
that the javascript tracks the auto-numbers, but everything else would be
left up to your own, task-appropriate macros. The next stage would be to
add code to allow multiple kinds of references (e.g. captions, figures).
The sample macros here let you insert references that show as numbers
(think anchors), show a tiddler description by tiddler (with number), show
a tiddler description by number. The list routine uses the range operator
to list all references.
Drag and drop into your TW file, and then reload (the JS does not take
effect until you reload).
Various caveats: Please don't give your reference tiddlers names that are
numbers! Resist the urge to give any of your tiddlers the name
"MAS-REF-COUNTER". Note that presently the macro doesn't check if your
referenced tiddlers actually exist. Not sure if this is a bug or feature.
Have fun,
Mark
