Taking mats idea a little further, With the new layouts switch, you could switch to an alternate view template designed, or rendered in a way, one may be able to obtain information about placement in the raw text field. Of course you cant drop text into the middle of content generated via widgets such as list, but you should be able to drop above and below widgets, and before or after plain text. Perhaps we could even place "insertion points" (drop zones) within the text defined by a macro or css that the insertion tool can use. The technology exists, because I have seen this in the past. Plain text tiddlers would have no barrier's to insertion.
Alternative methods to allow tiddler to be dropped on a list that will tag them such that they now appear in the list would also be cute.
