Glad the problem was solved so elegantly!
Since I have a similar interest of making tiddlers of words I find
interesting, I will take the opportunity to share a macro I use to easily
look up the meanings of any special words.
I make the New Interesting Words tiddler using a Template, and the template
contains the line:
<<dictionary {{!!title}}>>
The tiddler's title is simply the word itself, for example: *avarice*
In your case, the template line could be replaced with:
<$macrocall $name="dictionary" word={{{ [<currentTiddler>removeprefix[Word:
]] }}} />
In a tiddler tagged with $:/tags/Macro , I have defined the *dictionary*
macro as follows:
\define dataLinkCreator(data-file index word)
\rules except wikilink
<$wikify name="input" text="{{$data-file$##$index$}}$word$">
<a href=<<input>> target="_blank">$index$</a>
</$wikify>
\end
\define dictionary(word datafile:"$:/_data/dictionaryLinks")
<small>
<$list filter="[[$datafile$]indexes[]]" variable="index">
<$macrocall $name="dataLinkCreator" data-file="$datafile$" index=<<index>>
word=$word$/>
</$list>
</small>
\end
In a tiddler titled: *$:/_data/dictionaryLinks*
And with its Content Type set to : *application/x-tiddler-dictionary*
I have the following:
Dictionary.com: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/
The Free Dict.: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/
Merrium-Webster: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/
Collins: https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/
Oxford: https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/
Chambers: http://chambers.co.uk/search/?title=21st&query=
OneLook: http://www.onelook.com/?w=
American Heritage:https://ahdictionary.com/word/search.html?q=
Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Wiktionary: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/
Etymology: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=
Google: https://www.google.com/#q=
DuckDuckGo: https://duckduckgo.com/html/?q=
Yandex: https://www.yandex.com/search/?lr=10619&text=
Baidu: http://www.baidu.com/s?wd=
Qwant: https://www.qwant.com/?q=
Thus, if you had a tiddler named: *Word: avarice*
And that tiddler had in its text: *<$macrocall $name="dictionary" word={{{
[<currentTiddler>removeprefix[Word: ]] }}} />*
This line of links would appear in the tiddler:
*American Heritage <https://ahdictionary.com/word/search.html?q=avarice>* *
Baidu <http://www.baidu.com/s?wd=avarice>* *Chambers
<http://chambers.co.uk/search/?title=21st&query=avarice>* *Collins
<https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/avarice>* *Dictionary.com
<https://www.dictionary.com/browse/avarice>* *DuckDuckGo
<https://duckduckgo.com/html/?q=avarice>* * Etymology
<http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=avarice>* *Google
<https://www.google.com/#q=avarice>* *Merrium-Webster
<https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/avarice>* * OneLook
<http://www.onelook.com/?w=avarice>* * Oxford
<https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/avarice>* *Qwant
<https://www.qwant.com/?q=avarice>* *The Free Dict.
<http://www.thefreedictionary.com/avarice>* *Wikipedia
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/avarice>* *Wiktionary
<https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/avarice>* *Yandex
<https://www.yandex.com/search/?lr=10619&text=avarice>*
Of course you could tweak the macro to do the removal of the prefix, so
that you can simply use: *<<dictionary {{!!title}}>>*
However that would mean the macro could not be used elsewhere for a set of
links for a word, like <<dictionary tiddlywiki>>
Hope you find this useful.
