Mario,

As usual I love your work. and you inspire new ideas;

Please forgive me from straying from the OT, but I raise this as it may be 
a simple extension of your "Click Effect".

*I observed:* Using the  "Click Effect"  Element pulse  is interesting 
because it helps identify the html element where clicked. It is a hint of 
what using the browser dev tools inspect does.

*This makes me wonder *if an alternate plugin could allow one to "click and 
copy html elements, or classes" specified in the html from the screen. 

   - This would bring a simplified version of making use of the inspect 
   tool tool to locate elements and the applicable classes on a TiddlyWiki
   - Actually we may be able to launch an innerwiki that has such a plugin 
   installed where the user can select any visible element from an empty wiki, 
   and lookup its critical details needed when customising or designing
   - This may work well in conjunction with the new layouts switch to 
   assist in the development of new layouts, especially if a designer can 
   quickly identify the appropriate class or html element, simply by clicking 
   it.
   - Such a tool could simultaneously copy the resulting value to both the 
   clipboard and as the content of what we can call a clipboard tiddler. The 
   system clipboard allows the result to be placed anywhere else on the 
   device, but the  clipboard tiddler allows additional functionality to be 
   designed to respond to the values, such as advanced search, links and 
   references, documentation lookup etc... in the current Wiki.

behind this ideas are the following possible features;

   - The idea that in cases where we may want to copy to the clipboard, we 
   also copy to a clipboard tiddler is a powerful pattern, 
   - Then regardless of what is in the system clipboard the wiki can paste 
   from its own clipboard into tiddlers.
   - This can be extended to list most recently used or a history of copy 
   to clipboard actions, and pasted from a dropdown of prior values, 
      - both on tiddlers and in text.
   - This would be a useful extension to the current copy to clipboard 
   actions in the core, not to mention custom implementations.
   - When we have wiki clipboard's such as a tag names, even 
   fieldname/value pairs it is possible to have buttons or icons on which to 
   drag and drop values to apply then to the displayed tiddler.

In closing the possibilities I described here could be used to help users 
and designers a like to make use of TiddlyWikis "self documenting" features 
given its open source, to learn about tiddlywiki itself.

Regards
'Tony
