A TextReference identifies a chunk of text from a tiddler that can be retrieved or modified depending on the context.
A TextReference is a general purpose way to identify a fragment of text from a tiddler. In different situations, text references can be used to retrieve values, or to specify a value that should be modified.
Text references are made up of several parts, most of which can be optional:
A TextReference consists of several parts:
* The title of the target tiddler. If omitted, it defaults to the [[Current Tiddler]]
* Either one of:
** The name of a field (marked with `!!`)
** The name of an index within a [[data tiddler|DataTiddlers]] (marked with `##`)
* If both the field and index are omitted, the text field is used as the default
Most of the parts of a text reference can be optional:
* `tiddlerTitle` - the text [[field|TiddlerFields]] of the specified tiddler
* `tiddlerTitle!!field` - a [[tiddler field|TiddlerFields]] (eg, `modified`, `modifier`, `type` etc)

Text references can be used in several places:
* As [[indirect parameters|Filter Parameter]] within [[Filters]] (eg, `<$list filter="[tag{MyTag!!name}]"/>`)
* As IndirectAttributes of an element or widget (eg, `<$widget attrib={{Title!!description}}/>`)
* As [[indirect attributes|HTML in WikiText]] of an element or widget (eg, `<$widget attrib={{Title!!description}}/>`)
* As the operand of a shortcut transclusion (eg, `{{MyTiddler!!title}}`)
* As the `state` attribute of the RevealWidget and the LinkCatcherWidget
