Mike has the right idea. 

Here is a link to an example that shows one possible use case:

https://amreus.tiddlyhost.com/#View%20Template%20for%20Person:%5B%5BView%20Template%20for%20Person%5D%5D%20Amreus

* If tiddlers that are tagged "Person" have 2 fields: "first-name" and 
"last-name".
* The View Template tiddler displays the full name in any tiddler tagged 
"Person"
