Jeremy, One other question of clarification;

For example I have an application I am building on tiddlywiki for a client. Each of there 30+ Offices have 1 to 30 post codes associated with each office. If there were a way to access the indexed array and copy it to a tiddler, ie surface the result, it could prove useful for various applications. I know I can build equivalents myself but they will be wikitext based and never as efficient as the ones in the indexing system you propose. Perhaps providing a widget or variable name that can reference the content of the indexed array. Extracting such arrays at a point in time would allow new lists to be created with additions and deletions for further use. In effect capturing the result in an index in a moment in time, useful for database, reporting and dashboard applications that can highlight new and deleted items/relationships relative to a prior state.
