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.

Regards
Tony
