Then for sure, back to your original question, that can definitely be done.
A button somewhere that brings up the search tiddler in a modal. Search tiddler with an edit field (I imagine for the text field of a temporary tiddler). Below that edit field, a list widget with a filter that gets the value from the text field of that temporary tiddler. That filter makes sure you've got at least three or more characters typed in before actually getting a list of matching tiddlers, and applying regexp to get the matching tiddlers. For each matching tiddler, a button to open (tm-modal) a tiddler that is your form for editing. Passing to that form the title of the tiddler being edited. Something like that.
