I don't use node.js so I maybe misunderstanding what you are trying to do. If I understand, you are dragging a ppt file into TiddlyWiki so it becomes embedded as a tiddler. Then you want to download that embedded ppt file.
That sounds like the problem of downloading an embedded zip file. Such files are stored in the TiddlyWiki in a base encoded format. Jeremy gave an example of downloading such a file: Embed a ZIP for download? https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/TiddlyWiki/XoyXlWO8SpA/K_IcD4qgvhwJhttps://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/TiddlyWiki/XoyXlWO8SpA/K_IcD4qgvhwJhttps://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/TiddlyWiki/XoyXlWO8SpA/K_IcD4qgvhwJ Not sure if this would work for ppt files or if a modification of boot.js similar to the one Jeremy mentioned for zip files would be needed for ppt files. Such a mod should be tested before using on your good TiddlyWiki. To download zip files I made a macro (attached) based on what Jeremy suggested. I have not tested it intensively but seemed to work for zip, pdf, png, and gif files.
