I'm interested in generalising the link notation so that it can be
used as a general purpose mechanism to reference tiddlers from a
different source than the current document.

One simple way of doing it would be for a reference like 'alpha@gamma'
to be interpreted as a reference to the tiddler called 'alpha' coming
from the space defined by the tiddler called 'gamma'. Then the content
of the tiddler 'gamma' would define the origin space, perhaps with a
type field and a base URL. The type field would allow for tiddlers to
be retrieved from instances of TiddlyWeb/TiddlySpace, but could also
be used to access other types of data.

For instance, with the appropriate definitions, we might have:

- 02747527426@twitter to identify a particular tweet
- Lettuces@wikipedia to identify a Wikipedia article
- Agenda@work to identify a tiddler in a separate TiddlyWiki document

I've also been researching oembed, a protocol designed to simplify
embedding content from one website in another, but I note that it is
actually a pretty good implementation of what we'd need for a general
purpose import mechanism.

Best wishes
