Hi Yoann,

TiddlyMap is really a great plugin ! awesome.

Many thanks :) Still undergoing heavy development.

Generally speaking, for any ideas you have in mind concerning tiddlymap it 
would be nice if you would file an issue at github (it is easier for me to 
manage and discuss issues there).

Now for your actual suggestion:

When using normal in in-text links in a tiddler body, it means that part of 
the content is related to another tiddler. TiddlyMap links on the other 
hand have a different meaning: They relate a tiddler (the whole entity) to 
anther tiddler. This means, it would not make sense to include tiddlymap 
links in a tiddler's body since this is the job of a normal link.

Would add in readability and keep inside the "wiki" spirit of describing 
> data and relationship explicitly within the text of the content.

So as I tried to outline above, tiddlymap links are considered meta data, 
meaning they refer to the entity (tiddler) and its content (body) as a 
whole and should not be embedded in the text - For the same reason, you add 
a tiddler color or a tiddler icon not in the text body.

To view the wiki links while viewing a tiddler, open the "live map" in the 
sidebar. It will show you the "meta relationships" (needs a large screen).
Also you can use the tiddlymap drop down button in the tiddler's menu to 
display the existing relations of a tiddler (I will improve the dropdown, 
it is not perfect yet).

That said, I am currently working on a solution to automatically generate 
tiddlymap edges/connections from internal tiddler links. These edges would 
be displayed in a different style to symbolize they are actually produced 
from internal links and then displayed together with other tiddlymap 
connections e.g. in the live view.

The plan is to use the existing link structure contained in a user's 
tiddlywiki and display it as a (big) graph. Then you could go on creating 
links like [[A]] and they would be also displayed in a graph. So this would 
be really close to your suggestion in my eyes.
