Taking a Tiddler and seeing what link text was used to link to it for consistency?

[leeand00]

If I have many tiddlers in my tiddlywiki that reference a tiddler, I am able to see which ones in the references, but I'm interesting in seeing what the link text for the link to that tiddler is.

Is there a way to find this out?

What do you mean by link text?

Do you mean the content of the tiddler (it's text field?)

A tiddler link can be created using the $link widget:

<$link to="tiddlername">text</$link>

or wikitext syntax:

[[text|tiddlername]]

When using the $link widget, the content inside the widget can be anything (except another $link widget!).  This can include references to variables, transcluded text, inline filters, or anything else you can imagine... even complex blocks of syntax like $list widgets, $reveal widgets, etc.  In addition, the to="tiddlername" parameter can also be "soft", where the value is generated by reference to a variable, transclusion from a field value, or constructed dynamically using an inline filter.  Furthermore, the to=... parameter can be completely omitted if the link is to the <<currentTiddler>> (e.g., a $link widget contained within the content of a $list), and you can also omit the $link content entirely when the display text is the same as the $link target.

<$link to="tiddlername" /> or <$link />

Thus, there are a multitude of different ways that the display text for a link can be specified, generated, or omitted, making it (nearly) impossible to derive all the different bits of display text that may be used to render a link, even if you know the actual tiddlername being linked to.

Sorry I can't offer a solution, but hopefully the above explanation illustrates why this is so.

Hi,

The relink plugin has its own backlinks tab in the tiddler info area. It will show you how the link looks like.
