[Question] Prior art - has anyone built a method to define a tiddler that does not exist but allows dragging to create it?

Folks,

Has anyone built a method to define a tiddler that does not exist but allow dragging to create it?

The idea would be say a virtual tiddler made with content from though out the wiki, that does not itself exist, however it can be created by dragging a button and dropping it on eith the local wiki or another where you import a real tiddler containing all the information specified in the "virtual tiddler".

Why?

• It would open many possibilities including 
• generating new tiddlers from information in a wiki that can be created live
• A form of dynamic tiddler templating.
• Allow a tiddler to be composed that can be dropped on another wiki that refers back to the source wiki.
• Interactive tiddler composition that results in a draggable tiddler.
• Eg; to register a wiki or project in one wiki in a directory wiki.

I am confident this is possible via a template as is used to create json tiddlers however it seems their may be a more elegant way for someone more familiar with draggable payloads.

thanks in advance for any ideas

Hi Tony, that is possible.
Create a Link like [[{{imagesomthing}}|infotiddler]] and dropzone like described here. https://tiddlywiki.com/#DroppableWidget
There you can specify an action which could be generating a Tiddler using all the fieldnames you want .
You could use the Link to the infotiddler to furnish information or even open the dropzone in it.

That sounds interesting. But I am still a little lost how to achieve it. If you can do a minimal example it would be appreciated. 

Thanks

Tony
