However, it would be nice to be able to refer to more or less arbitrary meta tags in links, not just "title". To do that, the link needs two parameters: the page name and the tag name, i.e. \[[pagename!metatag]]. Any sufficiently weird separater can be used instead of '!', of course. I like \[[pagename->metatag]], too, because it reminds me of accessing a data member of a structure (which is what referencing a meta tag is, really). --Peter > I dislike \[[pagename->metatag]] because other wikis use that as their normal link/label syntax. > I'm not sure that it is a good idea to refer to arbitrary meta tags in links in the first place - what other meta tags would you really be interested in?

It makes sense to me to refer to the title, because that is a "label" for a page. > As for syntax, I do like the \[[|foobar]] idea, or perhaps something like what PmWiki does - they have their links the other way around, so they go \[[page|label]] and for link-text-as-title, they have \[[page|+]].
