Some more thoughts on linking in TW (aliases, display text, and relationship types: Oh My!)

It may be interesting to translate extended alias links to the parameterised transclusion syntax

Parameters are defined like this:

\parameters (a,b,c,d)
(definition of the transclusion goes here...)

The shortcut syntax for invoking the parameterised transclusion uses a single vertical bar to separate them from the title of the tiddler being transcluded:

{{FooBar|first|second|third|fourth}}
{{FooBar||template|first|second|third}}

---

• This translates very well to eg: [[alias-name|?|first|second|third]] ... parameters

---

For uni-link I did avoid the pipe parameter, because of it's "low visibility" ... So it's free.

• templates could look like this [[alias-name||?template|first|second|third]] ... if the template section starts with a question mark ? the template name follows. ...
• It may even be possible to write it as [[alias-name||template|first|second|third]] ... BUT then it would be way to close to the existing transclusion syntax. ... May be confusing

I think I'll try option 1

---

related: uni-link: transclusion-like links may have a usecase. #40 .... may be option 1 above is better

---

somewhat related: uni-link: idea for a new link-text #122 ....

[[alias|?|My newly displayed title]]

• may be: [[alias-name||?t|My newly displayd link title]] ... where ?t .. the t would be user definable
