The problem is that you are attempting to find a "logical" approach to what is fundamentally a "human" problem -- There is no "logic" (at the string level) to how things are named. As far as electrons are concerned, TiddlyWiki makes as much sense as TiddlYwiki .
A somewhat harder, but more reliable approach, might be to grab the text from the widget tiddlers. At the bottom of each tiddler is text like: exports.setvariable = SetWidget; where you could, hypothetically, extract the widget name. Unfortunately, for the "action-" tiddlers, you're going to have to append "action" since they're named differently (did I mention names weren't logical?)
