>>> The current markup is {{$*fieldname*}}; what you're wanting, perhaps it should be represented like {{$*pagename*:*fieldname*}}, or {{$*pagename*::*fieldname*}} or something else...

->>>> Oh. Hmm. I like your idea actually, or alternately, in keeping more with other plugins, doing it like {{pagename/fieldname}}. The meaning is less clear that way, but avoids potential issues with filename clashes that have a colon in them. It also keeps a certain logic - at least to me. Either way, I think both are good choices.

+>>>>> What about using {{pagename#fieldname}}? The meaning of the hash in URLs sort of fits with what is needed here (reference to a 'named' thing within the page) and it won't conflict with actual hash usages (unless we expect different named parts of pages to define different values for the same field ...)
