Mark - whoa! That is a good step towards a view mode work-interface. If the limitations you point out are removed, including access to the original tiddler title, I think it would be a pracitcal way to postpone splitting up texts into smaller ones (i.e into tiddlers) until it is actually needed. The current TW workflow where we need to estimate if something needs to be a tiddler, probably over-tiddlifies things.
