I think the approach would have to be from the other direction. You would have a script or program that would look at a directory of images, create tiddlers, and maybe create thumbnails. Then you could import the generated tiddlers into your TW.
We've been told (I think) that the name of the file is unavailable when you drop into a web page (including TW). And of course modern browsers won't let your web page save to specific directories (just the nominated download directory). I do have a script that runs in TW where you provide a list of file names and then it creates the tiddlers with the _canonical_ uri filled in. Actually creating thumbnails would have to be done through an external file manipulator, I suspect.
