Well, the select widget has to store its results somewhere. However, you
can specify some other tiddler in the select widget (e.g. <$select
tiddler="SomeOtherTiddler"...> )
You would then have to refer to it in your count widget
<$count
filter="[tag[Company]regexp:charterfiled{SomeOtherTiddler!!primary}]"/>
