That makes sense. The <<qualify>> macro is indeed intended to solve just this problem. The idea is that you'd use the qualify macro to generate a tiddler title based on a provided root name, to which the qualify macro appends a string that is unique for all buttons within the same stack of transclusions. So, if you <$button set=<<qualify MyState>>> and then late use the same qualify macro in the same tiddler, then because the qualify macro will generate the same string in each case, both widgets will refer to the same tiddler. You only need to change "MyState" if you've got two such buttons within the same tiddler, in which case they have to be distinguished with a different root name. In the case of the button/reveal combination, again you only need to come up with a unique name for the qualify macro if there are more than one reveal block within the same tiddler. It would be nice if one didn't have to create the distinguishing names, but if you think about it, it's unavoidable; in order to distinguish two otherwise identical things we have to make something different about one of them. (We can't use the position of the reference because the same reference must be generated regardless of where it is done in the tiddler).
