Is there any AJAX-style plugin where I can "see" an external URL?

Thanks

Try this:

http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#ExternalTiddlersPlugin

extends the <<tiddler>> macro syntax so you can retrieve and wikify
content directly from external files or remote URLs simply by using
the file/URL reference in place of the usual TiddlerName:

<<tiddler local-filename>>
(uses local file I/O - requires browser security permission)
OR
<<tiddler URL>>
(uses XMLHttpRequest - the "X" in AJAX - to retrieve from a remote URL
- note: when working online, may require use of hosted proxy to work
around cross-domain script security)

enjoy,

You can also define alternative "fallback" sources to provide basic
"import on demand" handling by automatically creating/importing
tiddler content from external sources when the specifiedTiddlerName
does not already exist in your document.

I don't want to create a new tiddler. What I need is an alternative to
FramedLinksPlugin that put the external page "over" TW. Could you help
me?

I've been searching and I found DC3.LightBox on Red Mountain Vista. I
am not sure if this a "normal" macro. How can I use it?

Thanks
