If you're going to fix the problem with macros, then you could just create your own ID field with a regular distinct pattern ("A0001","A0002",ktc)
Then use a macro like (though more sophisticated than): \define link(id desc) <$list filter="[search:id[$id$]limit[1]]"><$link>$desc$</$link></$list> And make your references like <<link "A0001" "Notes re comparison Disc World and Moby Dick">> Of course, then you have to remember to assign a unique id to anything that you plan to link to. -- Mark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
