includes a button: "link" (see QuickEditLink tiddler), which provides
a droplist of all existing tiddler titles, as well as a [browse for
file...] choice.

http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#AttachFilePackage

combines FileDropPlugin and AttachFilePlugin to allow you to drag-and-
drop a file onto your open TW document to create 'attachment
tiddlers', which encode/embed binary file content directly in tiddlers
AND/OR create **virtual links to external files**.

To link to an attachment (either embedded data or external reference),
simply use it as a regular tiddler link (e.g.,
[[SomeAttachmentTitle]]).  The AttachFilePackage does the rest.

Note: you can define both a *local* and *URL* reference for the same
attachment.  If the local file is not found, the attachment
automatically falls back to using the URL reference.  Thus, if you
share your document with others, you can post the linked files online
and they can still view and edit a *local* copy of the document,
without having *local* copies of the linked files as well.

Also, if you later move the 'attached' external file, just edit the
attachment tiddler's definition to update the actual link(s) there....
all the references in other tiddlers remain the same, so updating your
document can be done very quickly and easily.

enjoy,
