Sure, if someone would program it. ... BUT there is absolutely no support
in the core atm. So nothing will work. Especially filtering would have a
big problem.
TLDR;
IMO you should probably tell us, what exactly you want to inherit, so we
can tell you how to implement it in "the TW way", which will be more
efficient in the long run.

+-- child 2 .. will inherit (key-a: value-a) from parent
If child 2 is moved to
test has (key-b: value-b)

+-- child 2 .. will inherit (key-b: value-b) from test
This behaviour can have some "nice" effects, if you know, that they exist.
... BUT it also "connects" 2 elements in a way, that they only can exist
together without loosing information. ... That's not how TW is designed.
In TiddlyWiki, "a tiddler is a tiddler is a tiddler". ... So they should be
usable, even if used or moved as a single unit.
We do have other mechanisms, that let us "connect" 2 tiddlers. .. Tags, New
Here, New Journal here, links and transclusions ...
Tags are like "groups"
New xxx ... Some fields from a "template" tiddler are copied over to the
new tiddler. ... This can be changed, if you create your own buttons.
[[links]] ... Are handled by the core in a special way, so showing
"backlinks" can be fast.
{{transclusions}} ... connect 2 tiddlers in an "indirect" way. ... So they
can live alone, but they are not "complete" if they are alone.
