If you edit the import tiddler, you'll see it's actually a JSON structure. So you could possibly use the JsonMangler <https://chronicles.wiki/TW5-JsonMangler/> plugin in conjunction with your own "import" button that would fetch all the values, add your own fields, and create the tiddler. This way you could perform a batch process after you've done a series of import pastes.
