With Wagn's inclusions, you can construct web addresses that are context-sensitive, drawing on all or part of the name of the card the address is on, and/or other card contents.
Examples
Given that this card exists:
...and that this card is named contextual generation of web addresses+example — which means that _right will be interpreted as "example",
This:
[[http://{{Google base URI|naked}}{{_right|name}}]]
generates a web address for a Google search on "example":
www.google.com/search?q=example">http://www.google.com/search?q=example
You could put [[/card/edit/_self+*tform|edit the {{_self|name}} form]] on the form for Cardtypes and it will generate a link to edit that Cardtype's form.

Tips
- By combining this with iframes and the HTML Cardtype, you can show the results at that moment of any web service that can be accessed via regular web addresses — e.g. Twitter & RSS feeds
- You might think the double brackets are unnecessary. Wagn does try to recognize web addresses automatically, but because it does so before it renders inclusions, we have to put double brackets around this so that it renders the inclusion first.
- Also see web address for everything and contextual card names.

This doesn't actually work. The example doesn't work.
