Saq,
Well then either I don't understand what you are saying and/or you don't
understand what I am saying (or both).
as far as I can see I can replicate you filter with [tag[Widgets]sort[]]
+[get[caption]else[{!!title}]] while neither this or your filter provides
links to the original tiddler.
Your question was how to get a similar result to your filter that you give
an example for?, but you do not specifically state what result you are
looking for. As a Result I speculated and came to think you want an
intermediate result while retaining the currentTiddler. I then go on to
talk about how this may be achieved in the future, in a simplified form of
your filter which while an impressive use of the new filters it is hardly
readable for most.
Perhaps I have not answered your question, but I did my best and put in
some though and effort. Always with a view to improving tiddlywiki.
Regards
Tones
