I'm using Stroll, a variant of TiddlyWiki that imitates Roam Research (more or less).
I'm a heavy image user, so I have a lot of image tiddlers linked to an external directory via canonical uris.
I want to use these images in other tiddlers filled with text, to comment them, to use them to illustrate a point, etc.
The problem is that when I transclude the image tiddlers (via double curly brackets), they still appear as orphans. This is an undesirable behaviour in my case. If I have used an image at least once, I don't want it to appear as an orphan.
The solution I have found is awkward: I transclude the image via double curly brackets, and inmediately below I write a link to the image (via double square brackets, as is the norm in Stroll and RoamResearch), so it doesn't appear as an orphan.
So in the editor mode, I write this:
{{PhaistosDisc.jpg}}
[[PhaistosDisc.jpg]]
That is double work and it leaves an undesired link below the image in the Viewing mode.
Another failed solution: if you try to modify the system tiddler that manages orphans ($:/core/Filters/Orphans) and modify it like this...
[all[orphans]!has[_canonical_uri]sort[title]]
... then the image tiddlers that really ARE orphans (they have never been linked OR transcluded) dissapear from the orphans list, and that is undesirable too.
Any ideas?
