Mark, This is looking good as far as reference counts are concerned. However I believe Mohammad wanted to show figures (Tables/Images) presumably the text of the "reference tiddler". So perhaps showref should be extended to show the reference and the details (render the text field)
<<showref "WS-2016" details>> This will make a nice little solution, good work.
