That does work, but it's a lot of keys to press for just a link, how

I read in http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/manual/webman-styling.en.html and 
tried with

<drd-props|hey|arity|1>

And that sets the default arity to 1, which I can change to 2 if I 
deactivate the tag (make it go from blue to green).

But it seems to me that for my purposes it is better to use 
<if|<equal|TextName|>|... > rather than
<if|<equal|TextName|<uninit>|... >, so that leaving <wlink|FileName|> 
works as expected. This is neater than having to deactivate the tag.

However, I think the optimal behaviour would be if it worked in a 
similar way to the <macro> tag whose arity can be changed when the tag 
is active (blue).

Can this be done?

Thank you!

Oscar.
