Description

See discussion: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywiki/fNjdAa9_Hno

With 'standard' browsers it is possible to open a tiddler in another wiki (link made via permalinking).
If you try to do the same in TiddlyDesktop, it does not open this tiddler in TiddlyDesktop but opens the tiddler in the default browser.

Tested with Linux Mint 17.3, Firefox 58 and Tiddlydesktop 0.0.13.

Research direction

Start by reproducing a permalink to a tiddler in another wiki using TiddlyDesktop, comparing it with a standard browser. Then trace how TiddlyDesktop handles external links and the linked-wiki URL. Done means the linked tiddler opens in TiddlyDesktop rather than the default browser.
