It actually looks like you're getting a good handle on how to use TW. Your
first questions concern wiki-text. A good place to start with that is
https://tiddlywiki.com/#WikiText.
But your actual question, in the macro, is really about concatenation. You
want to "glue" (concatenate) the results of {{!!title}} into the middle of
a wikitext link [[stuff|ref]]. Both {{}} and [[]] are wikitext, not actual
widgets or objects. Putting wikitext inside of wikitext doesn't usually
work except for formatting.
What you need to fix this is a widget. A widget can take a transclusion
inside of it. The most universal way would be to use the macrocall widget
and call macro with your transcluded value as a parameter.
So if you rewrite your macro like this:
\define srct(title)
!!{{!!title}}^^[[src|$title$]]^^
\end
Then you can call it like this:
<$macrocall $name="srct" title={{!!title}}/>
And that should get you pretty close.
Or you could use the link widget and rewrite your macro like:
\define srct()
!!{{!!title}}^^<$link to={{!!title}}>src</$link>^^
\end
The point is, that when you want to insert the value of a wikitext
transclusion into something else, that something else will need to be an
attribute of widget or of an HTML tag.
Hope I haven't muddied things here too much ;-)
Good luck!
