How to create custom $link widget and use $wikify

I suspect the problem is due to links being rendered within the wikify widget and this leading to recursion, though this is merely a suspicion. Perhaps try the example with camel case links disabled?

Another potential approach might look like this:

\widget $link()
	\procedure tv-wikilink-tooltip()
	<$let newtip={{{[<currentTiddler>get[text]split[]limit[50]join[]]}}} tv-wikilinks="no">
		<$wikify text=<<newtip>> name="newtip2" output="text">
			<$transclude $variable="newtip2"/>
		</$wikify>
	</$let>
	\end tv-wikilink-tooltip
<$parameters $params="params-var">
	<$genesis
		$type="$link"
		$remappable="no"
		$names="[<params-var>jsonindexes[]]"
		$values="[<params-var>jsonindexes[]] :map[<params-var>jsonget<currentTiddler>]"
	>
	<$slot $name="ts-raw"/>
	</$genesis>
</$parameters>
\end
