David: have you considered a sub-story in the parallel tab? This would allow you to edit, as well as open multiple tiddlers there. Shift+click from the main story to open in the sub-story isn't difficult either. https://tiddlywiki.com/#Creating%20SubStories
In fact I would consider putting the substory in a separate parallel div to the main story, which can be toggled, rather than in the parallel tab for a better side by side viewing experience. You could also set it up so that shift+click in the main story showed the parallel div and the substory in it, and opened the relevant tiddler there. The Roam interface with the parallel viewing reminds me somewhat of my own two-story layout Tiddlywiki, which sadly isn't packaged well enough to distribute: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cnubb9osgvfqz4p/tw-dual-story.mp4?dl=0 However I can offer guidance to anyone trying to implement the same. It's mostly wiki markup with some sprinklings of javascript to glue things together from what I remember, I haven't fiddled with this in a couple of years.
