Ilya, the fix to Tidd;yBlink I just mentioned has a couple drawbacks 1) You don't see links in the text field of the parent tiddler to the child tiddler, since they are in your special field. But then that must be the case with however you are doing it now. 2) Autocomplete and linkify, etc will not work in the special field, only in the text field. 3) viewing the references in the "search results highlighted in context mode" will not show anything but a gray bar unless the reference is also in the text field.
