Diego, If you wrote a helper macro that you use to invoke you templates, you could use your macro where ever you want to use a template, and later you can search for than macros name in your tiddlers, to get a list of all tiddler using your template helper macro.
You could also introduce another practice, like I do for my macro definitions. In any tiddler that defines one or more macros I create a field macro-macroname with the content the syntax eg "<<macroname tiddlername>> this macro does x to tiddlername.". I then do a search for all fields with the prefix "macro-" and display where they were found and the content. You could do the same for all uses of a template eg uses-template-templatename (optionaly containing the full tiddler name of that template) and on the template tiddler itself have a field tamplate-name=templatename Regards Tony On Wednesday, December 12, 2018 at 8:07:33 AM UTC+11, Diego Mesa wrote: > > Hey Jeremy, > > Thanks for your response.
