trying to create a tiddler C that opens tiddler A because tiddler B contains the text "A"

(trying to create a tiddler C that "transcludes" tiddler A because tiddler B contains the text "A") may be a better technical explanation.

tiddler B only contains the text "A".

anything that works when B has the tag "A" or a field containing the text "A" would be equally great

going round in circles on this one  (tiddler C just contains the text "A")

eg

\define test(name:"B")
<$list filter="[[B]]">
<$transclude tiddler=<<currentTiddler>>/>
</$list>
\end
<<test "B" >>

Hopefully I parsed your question correctly.  If so, create three tiddlers, where

A contains:

this is content from tiddler A

B contains:

A

and C contains:

<$transclude tiddler={{B}}/> 

It is this last bit that makes it work: the {{B}} syntax fetches the text content from B and uses it as the tiddler parameter value for the transclusion.

enjoy,
