This would be great it would help me to fix following workflow. I often start
from a single tiddler with multiple list of items (ProjectA).
! Requirements
* item2
* item3
! Features
* item3
* item4
! Decissions
* item5
* item6
Then at some point I need to reference one of the items. So I manually create 3
tiddlers (group tiddlers) and transclude them in ProjectA
* ProjectA/Requirements
* ProjectA/Features
* ProjectA/Decissions
I paste following into each one of them.
```
<<list-links "[tag{!!title}sort[]]">>
```
Then the hardest part is to convert each line from initial tiddler into a new
separate tiddler tagged with one of the group tiddlers.
Best regards,
ILYA
