Hi Tones and Flibbles, thanks again for coming to the rescue. 1. Flibbles, thanks for that snippet. It works great! Now when I rename a tiddler, the macro gets renamed too.
2. Also, I was wrong about searching, or at least it works now. If I search for "Subtiddler", which is referenced in my mapline macro in "Host tiddler", the search results in clude "Host tiddler". So I am all set in terms of searching. 3. The only thing lacking is that this be bi-directional. When I go to tiddler B that is referenced in a mapline macro in tiddler A, my view template that lists backlinks does not show a link to tiddler A. So, links in the macro are not being recognized as backlinks. Here is an example: Open Acts exegesis <https://giffmex.org/experiments/topicmaps2021.html#Acts%20exegesis>. If you click the link in that tiddler to go to <https://giffmex.org/experiments/topicmaps2021.html#Acts%2017%20general%20x>Acts 17 general <https://giffmex.org/experiments/topicmaps2021.html#Acts%2017%20general> , you will see there is no link back to Acts exegesis at the bottom of the tiddler. The macro can be found here: $:/.giffmex/Macro/mapline <https://giffmex.org/experiments/topicmaps2021.html#%24%3A%2F.giffmex%2FMacro%2Fmapline> The viewtemplate tiddler can be found here: $:/.giffmex/ViewTemplate/Backlinks <https://giffmex.org/experiments/topicmaps2021.html#%24%3A%2F.giffmex%2FViewTemplate%2FBacklinks> 4. This would basically be a new form of footnoting and/or transcluding: I paste the macro, add a title in the single quote marks, and voila, readers have a modal to view the additional text without losing their place, and the link is there in case they want to open to print it, or if I want to open to edit it. It is also a new form of writing/reading. The basic text would be concise lines, the skeleton of the argument, as simple or as elaborate as I wish. And the meat (lists, tables, quotes, evidence, etc) would be in the modals. Readers only need to open the modals they want to. Much easier than plodding through a long stream of dense paragraphs.
