Right-click on the link, copy and paste ? Kind of like this: https://tifoist.neocities.org/CJ_TIFOIST_PROJECT.html#Fact-000001
Because, say, "Tid-0000123" is a little hard to identify, one would need to customize TiddlyWiki a little to have links that display maybe the caption field's text (or whatever other ) i.e. something recognisable so one can right-click on the thing and copy the URL. I never use PERMALINK. I always right click on a tiddler link and copy the URL. But if you are looking at the open tiddler, PERMALINK still does what it ought to do with the title having an autogenerated unique identifier.
