Wow, thanks all! I hadn't seen TiddlyBlink and it's* really* snazzy--I'm going to clone my wiki to try it out. (I'd only seen the video of someone using Roam, but... can't self-host that.)
Just in case people want to see options, I stayed up last night poking at it and found http://contextplugin.tiddlyspot.com/ ; the code format blocks aren't perfectly pretty, and they don't define the bounds of the excerpt nearly as elegantly, but it can be used for more than my footer case.
