Saq,

The breadcrumbs in Stream are nice. As I understand it the breadcrumbs find 
the parents to the given node. In this case using parent and streams-list 
fields.

I thought of the following because I expect streams includes 90% of the 
code to do as follows.

Mario's TopP plugin Allows new here on a nominated tiddler and creates the 
Parent field. 

It seems the *breadcrumbs feature* could be split out into a generic plugin 
itself the simple specifications would be;

   - Using the currentTiddler (or a supplied one) as the node in a 
   breadcrumb trail
   - Provide the parent fieldname
   - Provide the children's list field.
   - If there is no parent or child list field (but the other is present) 
   indicate top or Bottom
      - If neither do not display at all
   - Allow horizontal (default) or vertical breadcrumbs (in side bar)

Ways to display such breadcrumbs could be in the above and below story, a 
menu bar second row or floating bar. One trick I have used for a tool I 
call "focus tiddler" is to access {{$:/HistoryList!!current-tiddler}} which 
contains the last edited or navigated to tiddler, and a simple viewToolbar 
button can set this to the set tiddler. Thus the breadcrumbs will be 
displayed for the current tiddler with focus (on screen but optionally 
outside the tiddler). It may also look nice in the subtitle in small text.

Just some ideas to leverage your existing work.
