There is something I want to achieve with TiddlyWiki but I don't know how, 
so I hope one of you can help me.

My problem, in a generalized way, is the following: I want to take reading 
notes from a book in tiddlers. The book has chapters (about 60), every 
chapter has on average 20 sections, and every section has on average 30 
subsections. This makes around a total of 35000 subsections.

In my tiddlers I will refer to specific subsections. Later I want to be 
able to list all tiddlers which refer to a certain subsection. Also, I want 
my references to be links to the content of the subsection on the internet. 
(The book's subsections cannot be included into my TW, but they are 
available on the internet.)

Of course, the easiest solution would be to create one tiddler for every 
subsection and insert links like [[Chapter4_Section6_Subsection23]] into my 
notes. This way I could find every reference to a subsection. But this 
would mean creating 35000 tiddlers (equivalent to 35000 files in my TW on 
Node.js) to cover all subsections. Even if I didn't create them, I would 
have 35000 missing tiddlers. This approach would heavily pollute the list 
of my tiddlers. Every time I would use the $list widget, the 35000 existing 
or missing tiddlers would come up.

I hope someone has a good idea to save my TW from this pollution, but still 
retain the possibility to search for references. I thought that I could 
develop a custom widget in Javascript which would store the reference list 
in a JSON tiddler. I'm experienced in JS programming but have less 
knowledge on TW internals, so I'm not sure if this is the best solution or 
is it overkill.
