Hi HowardM

As you've found, the current support for using data tiddlers and JSON
tiddlers from wikitext is limited to accessing and enumerating the top
level properties. That was enough to meet the needs of the core UI. The
plan eventually is to improve support so that arbitrary indexes can be
accessed.

Best wishes

Jeremy
