Hello all, I've been thinking a lot recently about how to handle tiddler "relations". That is, I have some tiddlers that are *related* to others, but not necessarily through (my version) of a tag relationship. I first just started typing out a related section in each tiddler like this:
Tiddler 1 ------------- ... my content ... !! Related * [[Tiddler 2]] * [[Tiddler 3]] I quickly got tired of copy/pasting this into tiddler 2 and 3, so I turned into a field, where each tiddler has a "related" field with the names of tiddlers its related to. If this field is present, its automatically displayed at the end as a list. I am still *building* and *learning* and so these relationships change. Say I want to say that they are all now related to a Tiddler 4. I have to now go back and make changes to 3 tiddlers. As the process continues this gets cumbersome. So I thought, well I could just have some kind of tiddler like this: A Relation ----------- * [[Tiddler 1]] * [[Tiddler 2]] * [[Tiddler 3]] And then just go back and change that tiddler as the relationships of that group change. This system is nonoptimal though, as: - What does its title mean? - With this setup, every single time a tiddler is opened it has to search ALL RELATION TIDDLERS and see if it's listed in any of them. This doesnt make sense! Im envisioning some way to enter a new relation, and upon saving in this one tiddler, it handles populating the related field somehow. Anyway, this is all just some random thoughts on this. Does anyone have any better ideas/systems for managing this?
