Is there a way to split long text within a tiddler into a streams tree. I 
am aware of the alt+enter shortcut in streams, but it works only in the 
child nodes. Is there a way to make it work for the parent streams tiddler? 
What I want is the the exact opposite of what streams-fusion plug in does.

My use case is here:
When I clip text from a website or pdf using tiddlyclip plug in, the 
clipped text gets saved into a single tiddler. I want to convert it into a 
streams tree. Currently I have to cut the whole text and paste it as the 
fist child node and then use the alt+enter shortcut to split it into 
multiple child nodes. If I could split the text from the parent tiddler 
itself it would be great and will reduce my work.
