many many moons ago there was a issue for this
https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/pull/470
but the current method was chossen instead.
Another choice is to us a 'submit' type button:
\define img(url, width) <img src="$url$" height="50px" width="$width$"/>
<$list filter="""[tag[Image]]""">
<$vars curr=<<currentTiddler>>>
<$tiddler tiddler=dummy>
width: <$edit-text tiddler=temptid field=text tag="input"/>
</$tiddler>
</$vars>
</$list>
<$button>
<$action-setfield width={{temptid}}/>
set width
</$button>
<$macrocall $name=img url={{!!url}} width={{!!width}}/>
