The snippet below doesn't work. But is something like this possible?
<<tabs '[regexp[{{!!title}}]] -[[currentTiddler]]' '' '$:/state/tabs/1enoch 'tc-vertical'>>
That is, where each tiddler that starts with the title of the current tiddler, except the current tiddler, shows up as a tab?
So if I create tiddlers entitled Favorite dogs 1, Favorite dogs A, Favorite dogs pomeranian, those 3 tiddlers would show up as tabs in the tabs macro in the tiddler Favorite dogs.
