Hi Mat There are a few different kinds of “hook”.
Often, I’ll be referring to JavaScript hooks. They’re a low level mechanism for JavaScript functions to be invoked as certain actions are performed (e.g. renaming a tiddler), allowing those actions to be customised. We do also use the word more loosely in a wikitext context. The most important wikitext hook is the system tag mechanism that allows additional elements to be folded into TiddlyWiki’s user interface. > I want to show this alert in the regular plugin list, ideally in the > $:/core/ui/Components/plugin-info tiddler which is the one showing each > separate plugin as a "row" in the plugin list. So, we could extend $:/core/ui/Components/plugin-info to use a system tag in the same way. > How should one approach manipulating core components? It is one matter for > personal tweaking but not so good when making public plugins. ...besides, > whose shadow tiddler wins? Once my overwrite is in a plugin it is no longer > an overwrite but a shadow, so which one should the system choose? Plugin writers should avoid overwriting core tiddlers in almost all cases. Otherwise it’s difficult for plugins to co-exist reliably.
