TiddlyTweeter Sorry!
I have written my answer because I hope that those who work on the reported bugs will read this post which I linked there. Can you modify the core and/or develop plugins? If so, we could prepare a pull request together to remedy the situation. I'm working on wiki parser rules anyway. But I don't know much about html, css, Tiddly Wiki macros and customization. I create new URIs to control my most important applications (windows 10) from TiddlyWiki: notepad++, explorer, Visual Studio Code ... e.g. a click on the link "npp:D:\Dev\test\test.cmd" in TiddlyWiki opens the file "test.cmd" in notepad++. Therefore I have to extend the wiki parser so that TiddlyWiki formats the URI "npp:" as a link.
