I see a thread on ten ways of drag and drop and I steal the idea for this thread:
Ten ways to create common properties among tiddlers!

Why:
  1. Tiddlywiki is nonlinear and unleashed. Effective note taking recommend to connect notes!
  2. Tiddler philosophy recommend tiddlers contain the smallest meaningful chunk of information, so I have several tiddlers per subject
  3. I like to find and access tiddlers related to each other to see the whole stories
  4. sometimes I need linear behaviour like a brochure with 5 pages

Question
  • How can I create tiddlers with common property(ies) to be able to list them, find them, connect them,...?

I think these are some solutions!

All tiddlers have the same
  1. tag, e.g reading
  2. field e.g medium
  3. namespace e.g all titles started with story01 - or story01/
Saying created on the same date, or having the same word in the text body does not make sense!

All tiddlers are
  1. listed in the list field or other field of another tiddler. example I have some categories like fruits (a tiddler) vegetables (a tiddler) and they have tiddler in their list field or other field

What else?

OK, then
  1. Out of the Box streams is doing this for you in many ways.  You can customise the naming standard for the subtiddler created. Just type into your stream and each item becomes a tiddler, linked together by the tiddler in which the whole stream exists.
  2. Simple methods include new hear, 
  3. Look at the TOCP plugin to set a parent field, rather than a tag
  4. The TOC macros for a table of Contents show how to have a hierarchical set of relationships
    1. The kin filter takes this to the next level
  5. Time is linear in many ways. Make use of created and modified fields to relate things bu time
    1. Create new date/time fields for other forms of organisation
  6. See all the discussions about backlinks, references etc... built into tiddlywiki because you can leverage these
  7. You can place a string in your tiddlers that you can later search with advanced search or the search operator in a filter. Such search strings can be in fields like a keywords field, or in the text field including <!-- inside a comment that is not displayed -->
  8. Lets say you had 10 tags categorizing content, you can tag each of the tag tiddlers with a category tag. Now with a little filter play you can treat the categories as a group, or even the categories and all they tag as a group.
  9. When grouping, listing and treating things as sets, you can plan so you have ways to include or exclude members from a larger set. That is you build larger relationships you can reduce to specific relationships using a filter to list subsets. eg a tiddler tagged todo that Also has a tag which is a project name.
  10. Someone else can do this one :)

So it seems there are three main properties

- having a common field value (e.g tags or other field)
- namespace in a field (like title)
- having a common field name
