Diego,

I quick start would be possible, if we stick to macros so that in Wiki Text 
we would use something like

<<idl #uniqueID>>

I am using idl to mean IDLink

We could have different parameters or macros that provide text of the 
title, link or transclusion.

With some smart macros we could have

<<idl UNIQUEID>>  Display the tiddler with the unique ID current title as 
text
<<idl [[UNIQUEID]]>> Display the tiddler with the unique ID current title 
as a link to that tiddler
<<idl {{UNIQUEID}}>> Transclude the tiddler with the unique ID text here

Then to support this have edit Toolbar items to insert one of the above 
with a unique id found using a current title search, a new excise tool that 
returns the macro reference to the Unique ID
 
I believe with the above complete we should be able to make use of the 
benefits of unique ID's without core or syntax changes.

What do you think, are there missing features?.

Regards
Tony
