With a few minor exceptions, all TiddlyTools CoreTweaks have
corresponding ticket #'s on trac.tiddlywiki.org, so it is probably
easier to search for any given tweak by it's ticket #, rather than
searching for specific text.  In this case, Fred is referring to the
tweak for ticket #458

However, the #458 tweak does not "force a link to open in a new tab or
window"... it simply sets the previously undefined HREF value for
TiddlyLinks so that you can, if you so choose, use the right-click to
display the popup "context menu" and then explictly select the "open
link in new window" or "open link in new tab" command.  You can also
use the context menu to choose the "bookmark this link" or "copy link
location" commands, which makes it *much* easier to save a permalink
for any given TiddlyLink.

Note that, when using a *left* click, the tweaked TiddlyLink still
applies the standard TW 'onclick' handler and clicking the TiddlyLink
does open the tiddler in the *same* document window, as usual.

In fact, I'd really like to see this ticket re-opened and the tweak re-
considered for core inclusion, as it does *not* actually alter the
normal click behavior and has no negative impact on the design
decision that is intended to "avoid editing conflicts", but *does* add
some very helpful functionality when using a *right* click (as
described above).
