Yet another Post script I am also interested in a concepts as follows
- "virtual fields" effectively they are fields that do not contain a value but a template and/or actions to execute on use of the field. - Similarly action tags, whose dropdown provides access to actions to apply to tiddlers so tagged. The task tag would allow you to change the status of a task tiddler. - And action fields that are field based versions of the tag-pill. Tiddlywiki, imagination unlimited.
