I use this heavily with CSS in TWc, the options you propose are too long to
write each time (I use them for different semantic highlightning). I've
heard about some kind of "definitions" which allow to define new syntaxes
like old-school "+++[label]stuff===" for sliders etc, but I don't remember
the name of the mechanism.. Can anyone help with that?

They are needed for referencing and sharing links. The trick you propose is
ok, although it requires more clicks (while with proper keyboard shortcuts
permalink method requires only one). After all, one more icon wouldn't
hurt, I guess.

Well, if you don't provide arguments, it sounds like you disagree for the
sake of disagreement (considering the rest of you response). Back to TWc,
Jeremy refused to add some command to EditTemplate (references or jump, if
I'm not mistaken) for the sake of simplicity; for now, the EditTemplate is
not simple at all and it's much more complicated (or piled, it's better to
say) than that of TWc...

I haven't explored it fully (may be there's more power behind templates
than I know for now); when there's no distinguishing of sub-data, I won't
expect that it's possible to build some representation for it. An example
of what I mean:
in TWc, I have different sets of tiddlers, for instance
title:
<name of a pupil>
tags:
pupils
text:
|form|7a-1|
|remarks about character|...|
|things to remember|...|
...
and I aggregate values of slices for different pupils into different
(interactive) tables. On the other hand, sometimes I open tiddlers of
certain pupils to see and analyse different stuff, so I need these to be in
the tiddler text (not in the rather hidden fields).
