Hi again (and thanks for your previous help),

I come with a fresh question that was not asked previously here:

When editing page X, I sometimes think: "Ok, this is a subpage of page
Z, as it is
a typical Z item but it also somewhat belongs to the broad category of
items that
page Y accumulates. Actually page Y should link here, too. But I don't
want to
go to page Y and create a link to X, as I am not sure whether X will
stay at this
location. Instead I would like to keep editing X and simply insert a
backlink / reference
FROM page Y which I can move with page X, should it move somewhere
else.
On page Y such a backlink would then simply be added on the bottom of
the page as
"See also [[page X]]"

How should I go about this?

Freddy

PS: Actually, all this fuss would not be necessary, if links would
automatically change
their name when I edit the name or location of a Tiddler. That would
even be better than
the above workaround.

Tagging is the answer, if I understand your request properly. Tag
page X that you're editing with Z and Y, and then X will show up in
the tagging lists of Z and Y.

MonkeyPirateTiddlyWiki makes using tags like this a lot easier. Check it out:

Thanks to commenters on YouTube, we now know this is not true.

Thank you! Most useful - I did not know Tiddlywiki was built to do
that.

Cool, now a whole different world of dumping all those fuzzy thoughts
opens up!

Another solution would be RelatedTiddlersPlugin
http://www.tiddlytools.com/#RelatedTiddlersPlugin. It lists all of
the current tiddler's backlinks, and can filter by tag.
