Woohoo! It works with plain html files. Closest I've been able to get to Evernote Web Clipper!
If it is a true html file, and not just me deleting the first "m" out of the .mhtml file name, then both of these work: [ext[Open file|Webpages/foo.html]] <iframe width="560" height="315" src="Webpages/foo.html" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Thanks to https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/khBwYoy3Syg for that last. *1. But is it safer than pasting the raw html into a tiddler? Does it being embedded in an iframe somehow make it safer? (And is it non-bloating?)* *2. Can I modify Tiddlyclip to automatically include <iframe width="560" height="315" src="Webpages/{{!!Title}}.html" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> in every tiddler Tiddlyclip creates? Is {{!!Title}} how it should be written?* 3. Do I really need the 560 and 315? I will try leaving them out. P.S. I can also see how .mhtml would have been the ultimate in formatting above even .html, because as I understand now, the .mhtml is a SINGLE FILE package of what used to be two separate things: the .html file with its ancillary media folder (i.e. what was created when a person used to click "save as complete webpage"). But until .mhtml embedding becomes possible, .html is already great.
