You know, I had looked at the clone button and the new here button before
asking, but hadn't figured it out. Then after writing my request, I figured
it out myself! Here it is. I will do up an example to share with you.
\whitespace trim
\define newHereActions()
<$set name="tags" filter="[<currentTiddler>]
[{$:/config/NewTiddler/Tags!!tags}]">
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler" $param=<<currentTiddler>>
tags=<<tags>> text="" caption=""/>
</$set>
\end
\define newHereButton()
<$button actions=<<newHereActions>>
tooltip={{$:/language/Buttons/NewHere/Hint}}
aria-label={{$:/language/Buttons/NewHere/Caption}}
class=<<tv-config-toolbar-class>>>
<$list filter="[<tv-config-toolbar-icons>match[yes]]">
{{$:/core/images/open-window}}
</$list>
<$list filter="[<tv-config-toolbar-text>match[yes]]">
<span class="tc-btn-text">
<$text text={{$:/language/Buttons/NewHere/Caption}}/>
</span>
</$list>
</$button>
\end
<<newHereButton>>
