Hi Jeremy thanks for the response. I was specifically hoping to be able to do it with something like $action-createtiddler so that I could auto-populate the new tiddler with whatever fields and tags I need.
My specific use case is that when I'm reading a PDF I usually create a tiddler to represent the book. All my book tiddlers have a button for creating a tiddler to store quotes from the book, tagged with the book + metadata fields. Currently I just copy the text in manually, which is fine, I just wondered if there was a way I could speed up this process and have it all happen with one button press.
