Adding a field and value to incoming imports is pretty easy (if you want to hack the core). Hacking the core has downsides, especially in terms of upgrades and maintenance.
Look for NavigatorWidget.prototype.handleImportTiddlersEvent in $:/core/modules/widgets/navigator.js . In between these lines: incomingTiddlers.push(title); importData.tiddlers[title] = tiddlerFields; You can put something like: tiddlerFields.myimport = "imported" ; (Be sure to make a backup if you try this on anything valuable). I think you can get a local variable by using this.getVariable(variablename), allowing you to wrap a browse widget with the name of the value you want to be inserted. But I didn't test this.
