Hi Maikel Wow, I'm very grateful to you for bringing this up. I had seen tagspaces some time ago (last year?), when it was much less developed.
I think it squarely hits a use case that many people are grasping for when they explore TiddlyWiki: to be able to organise all your digital stuff in one place, which for many people means managing files. Looking through the source, TagSpaces uses a platform specific native code plugin to provide the file access; Chrome still only provides sandboxed file access to JavaScript extensions. That plugin looks like it would be relatively easy to integrate into a TiddlyWiki5 extension. Great stuff, I'll look forward to exploring more, Best wishes Jeremy.
