Folks,

This may be simple, or may be complex. I would love a different set of eyes to consider this.

It may need a cognitive somersault.It may have being done recently inside some of our new editions.

Background
  • After import we have the $:/Import tiddler containing a list of links to the tiddlers imported.
  • In some Import tools I am building I have a button to copy this to an Import record, nice so far. 
    • To test just rename $:/Import after completed
  • So in my import record I have a list of tiddlers. 
  • Now if you open these tiddlers, and Look at info > references, you will see that our import record will be one of those references
    • In the tiddler this filter is used to find backlinks to it `[all[current]backlinks[]sort[title]]`
The Issue,
  • Given I have an import record listing the tiddlers imported, I now want to do more "post Import" Processing.
  • To assist I would like to extract all tiddlers referenced in the Import record and put them into a list field for programmatic access to the list.
  • I figure that since there are tiddlers in my wiki that have backlinks to the "Import Record tiddler"
    • I should be able to find all records that have a back-link to the current tiddler and thus be able to add them to a list field.
  • Do you know how to do this?
Going further
  • It would nice to also ask for all tiddlers who back link to this one, and all their backlinks (Not just out current tiddler) to identify "related tiddlers"
I will post back something useful right away if I can do this sucessfuly.

Thanks in advance if you chelp.
