This is exactly what TW5 on Node.js does. When you create a new tiddler in draft-mode, a file named "Draft of 'Tiddler 1' by Username.tid" is saved to the file system. If you change the Type field to "text/plain", then a new set of files is created, first "Draft of 'Tiddler 1' by Username.txt", which holds the contents of he main "text field" shown in the browser's edit-template, and second a file named "Draft of 'Tiddler 1' by Username.txt.meta" which holds all other fields liek Title, Tags, etc, etc, etc.
