I've made a Bible (twice, I think, but I've misplaced one. Possibly on the 
car roof top). A 6000 entry nutrition database. A 63,000 entry dictionary.

You'll have to explain what you mean exactly by "pollution".

For your situation, using node.js, there is, as they say "One weird trick." 
You can create all your reference tiddlers and put them in a plugin. This 
just means putting them physically in a folder under "plugins" and 
including a plugins.info file. Now your references will be essentially 
invisible until you want to link to them.
