Saq, yes somewhat, just for now without the ability to set where it saves. I drew the comparsion to set since what it is at the end of the day is the set widget just with a change to where it saves the value.
The thing is I at first wanted a user defined save location, but through tests I learned that the function I use to write the indexes to the tiddler needs the tiddler it writes to to actually to exist. So I decided to finish a first working proof of concept and expand this type of functionality in later revisions since I have to implement a fall back that creates a tiddler if it isn't there or at least gives the user a clear message that the set failed, because of the tiddler not existing. As for the the prefixed tiddlers you are right this was more a result from me wanting everything in one place during development. Although I would wish there was $:/data as this is neither necessarily temporary - I do wish to keep a saved beyond closing the wiki possibility should someone find a way to find it useful - or a state in the way it is apparently normally used within tiddlywiki, but from the next iteration onwards I will move it to $:/state. Thanks for looking over it and giving feedback.
