Bob,
We can already, we just keep title and have another user field for the
"headline title". Maintaining the freeform titling is important.
As per this thread we can make the "headline title" display at the top.
I have a nice tiddler serial number generator I am working on, but it takes
time due to the number of rabbit holes I have found.
My current thinking includes
- Create new tiddlers with a unique serial number (TSN field)
- Allow one tiddler to create child tiddlers that gain the parent
tiddlers Serial number in a parent field. parent-tsn field
- Provide a suit of automagical tiddler naming options
- Standard new tiddler tittle,
- One being to tag the child with the current tiddler like the
current New Here
- currentTiddler/serialnamber
- currentTiddler - N (like current behaviour
- $:/namespace/currentTiddler-childtsn
Similarly being able for a child to nominate a parent, and a parent to have
its own serial number for all it's children a ctsn child-tiddlerSerialNumber
I believe this will be very powerful,
- Because we need NOT invent a tiddler title every time we create a
tiddler
- However we title or retitle a tiddler we can access it by the TSN
- One tiddler can have many children, which can be divided by either the
title naming standard or other values like tags.
- Easy to create "uniquely" titled and numbered tiddlers as "database"
records.
- The ability to automatically generate new tiddler titles using
contextual information (including database record standards)
- The ability to share tiddler naming algorithms to meet various needs.

Tones
