I created a new tiddler, then (by accident) made a link to it. I clicked on that link and TW opened a new missing tiddler with the same title as the draft

It seemed like a un-wanted behaviour, I am not sure it deserves attention or not... just flagging it up here

best wishes

I did report similar issues some time ago. But I can't find them atm. ..

TW doesn't check for "draft" tiddlers, that haven't been saved at least once. If you click a link "too early", your "linked tiddler" doesn't exist. So TW by default creates a new one, which is expected behaviour. ... but ...  With some more clicks you can create a situation, that overwrites data. ...

You may search for the issues in the TW repo. some are open some may be closed.
