consistency: making wiki-links consistent with how transclusion works. It is intuitive.
Being consistent with other apps implementation of wiki-links. So if I prefer, or maybe due to current limitations of DTTG, I could use other markdown apps effectively. Devon Technologies philosophy is one in which the user can work with the stored document in any app of their choosing.
also the reason why it is done this way in transclusion is because it is more intuitive.
Usage: Let’s say I am testing some code and I want to keep track where the bugs that I found occurred. So I can have a general category of adding a customer and then I can have a specific subcategory of moving a customer from department to department.
So the parent group would have a document of the list of bugs that happened in generalized add customer testing and the sub group would have a document showing the bugs in a sub functionality of the add customer.
No worries with your explanation.
I’m building a similar setup to get a feel for what you’re describing here.

But WikiLinks are not transclusion links.
WikiLinks just link to an external file.
Transclusion links display an external file’s content in the Markdown document.
They have two different mechanisms and functions, not only in DEVONthink, but in general.

This is true in part. Our philosophy is to not use proprietary formats and to support standardized technology as much as possible. However, it is not to make sure the files work the same in DEVONthink as they do in any app of your choosing. There are things here and there we’ve implemented, like recognizing some alternative highlighting syntaxes. But that doesn’t mean we can or will support every option the other applications support.

That may be subjectively true.
Sorry but I’m not seeing the utility in your example here.
