Extend link widget to link to a filtered list

[Jermolene]

Extend the link widget so that it can link to multiple tiddlers at once by specifying a filter identifying the target tiddlers. This would allow us to implement "open all tiddlers with this tag" option to the tag dropdown, and would allow us to drag all tiddlers with a particular tag by dragging the tag pill.

+1 This sounds interesting too!

Ps: as i was typing my "reply" i realize that this kind of "newfeature" post are not really made to have answers/comments right ?

[Jermolene]

@Spangenhelm please do comment on "newfeature" and "enhancement" issues - feedback is very helpful to understand what people need.

It is one of the features I'am missing every day in comparison with TWclassic. Not only for tags but also for search results.

[wcndave]

I am also really missing this feature having just upgraded from classic. Never imagined this would disappear. I tag things to members of family, and now have no way to list all the tiddlers for a particular member.

I really miss the 'open all' by tag feature because this is critical to my workflow. Any known workarounds?

[bdiegel]

Update: I found the Demo for Jon example and makelist widget from @matabele. This was a suitable workaround for now.

I created an Open All by Tag tiddler with a few changes from the cited example:

    \define getTiddlers()
    <$makelist tiddler="$:/StoryList" set="!!list" filter="[tag[$(tag)$]]">
    <$button message="tw-make-list" class="btn-invisible">$(tag)$</$button>
    </$makelist>
    \end

    All Tags:

    <$list filter="[all[tiddlers]tags[]!is[system]sort[title]]">
    <$set name="tag" value=<<currentTiddler>>>
    <<getTiddlers>>
    </$set>
    </$list>

[matabele]

The $action-listops widget (now included in the core) may be used for this functionality, using the $filter= attribute option

\define getTiddlers() <$button class="btn-invisible">$(tag)$ <$action-listops $tiddler="$:/StoryList" $field="list" $filter="[tag[$(tag)$]]"/> </$button> \end

@bdiegel As an alternative you can overwrite/extend $:/core/ui/TagTemplate see 'Open All' option for tag pills

From OP

would allow us to drag all tiddlers with a particular tag by dragging the tag pill.

The discussion (and I) have let this important point slip by. Group dragging by using a pill would be very valuable. In effect it would enable even complete beginners to make "semi-plugins"!!!!

It would also open up for a different type of "plugins" based on content, where it is important that the end user can delete undesired tiddlers and add his own. (An example could be a grocery list.)

... would allow us to drag all tiddlers with a particular tag by dragging the tag pill.

IMO this already works and "open all tiddlers with this tag" has its own open issue. @Jermolene .. close?

[pmario]

@Jermolene bump for close. Dragging a tagpill allows us to drag & drop import all tagged tiddlers. .. Dragging a tag pill to the Open tabs opens all tiddlers. ... So imo this one can be closed.

Thanks @pmario
