Spooky Noodle I am sure you can achieve what you want and more with tiddlywiki, without html and css just wiki text and widgets. Here is some quick notes that will get you moving.
- The Control Panel > Appearance > Story View > Zoomin (only displays one tiddler at a time) - If you create a button to move to another tiddler you can choose which actions to do like close everything and open only that tiddler - Also consider the "https://github.com/buggyj/tw5-tools"; story tabs plugin - There is Using the read-only single tiddler view but may not be relevant to you - If you used modals one modal can open another and close the previous. - The groupings of tiddlers you mention could relate to the current story list (appears in the sidebar tab "open"), but you can design for multiple story lists. - The tabbed internal toc is a way to traverse multiple tiddlers inside the one tiddler, you could build a tiddler that does the job of (transcluding) the tiddler(s) as needed within itself I am working on a mechanism and it may be easy in a future release to set and perform actions on open tiddler, in this way you could code in each tiddler if it should be on its own etc... but something similar can be done in modals because you control the buttons that appear.
