That makes sense. Right now, as you've discovered, widgets that perform actions in response to user interface input events are fairly restricted in what they can do: * Emit a message * Set a tiddler/field/property to a value * Apply popup processing to a state tiddler etc All of the actions at the moment are "canned", without much flexibility. At the other end of the spectrum, one can always write a JavaScript widget that performs arbitrary logic. So we need to add some flexibility without making a mechanism that is more complicated than just dropping down to JavaScript. For me, this suggests that any way of encoding action logic that resembles a conventional program is on the wrong track; people might as well just write JavaScript. The present system of canned actions could be made more generic: the presence of an attribute triggers the instantiation of a canned event handler (which in some cases is parameterised). So, one way of handling your initial question would be: * Refactor <$linkcatcher> widget to be able to catch any message * Refactor "action attributes" (ie set/setTo, message, navigateTo etc.) so that they can be applied to all relevant widgets (including the generic linkcatcher above) Then your original example might be: <$eventcatcher catch="tw-navigate" set="$:/search" setTo="" message="tw-navigate></$eventcatcher> Best wishes Jeremy On Wed, Apr 9, 2014 at 2:37 PM, Danielo Rodríguez <rdani...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hello Jeremy > > I didn't explained myself.
