If I'm viewing a list of tiddlers that was transcluded using the list 
widget, I'd like to be able to quickly add things to that list.

At first glance, It looks like the only way to do it is to manually add the 
new tiddlers, and give them whatever tags or fields the widget used to 
generate the list. 

Ideally, there would be a command or something I could put while writing 
the list widget which could append to the list one of the following: 

   - A text space to write the name of a new Tiddler which automatically 
   have the "attributes" defined by the list command. In this case, suppose 
   I'm asking to be able to make a template based off of a list.


   - A button to create a new Item like that, which would open up that new 
   tiddler for editing or viewing. This one is pretty similar to the first 
   one, but I imagine that it would be much easier to make.


   - A dropdown menu to select from a defined set or list of tiddlers, 
   which, upon selecting, would apply the tags or fields which the list widget 
   was looking for, or remove tags which the list widget was excluding


Here, writing this, I'm not just realizing that "any" would pose a problem. 
If the list widget were looking for all tiddlers tagged foo, or all 
tiddlers tagged blub, but no tiddlers tagged zomba, such a thing might be 
possible, but if the list widget were looking for any tiddler tagged zomba, 
blub, or foo, it couldn't do it, because none of them are required; it's 
only required that the tiddler be tagged with at least one of them. Such a 
function/tool/macro/widget/plugin* as I'm asking for wouldn't know which 
tag to tag this new (or existing, (example 3)) tiddler with. 

Now, after I've written my whole question up, I think I'm realizing the 
unfortunate reality that I'd probably just have to add something to create 
a new tiddler based on a template that I would have to define; there's no 
practical way to make it based off of the parameters of the list 
automatically. Whatever thing it is I have to add, I'd have to define it 
manually for every list want it in.

So I guess I still have the same question, just less fancy than I imagined 
at first. I'm still gonna keep all that text, because it's worth it i 
think. 


   - *So, TL;DR:  What do I add to the "list" parameters/macro/widget** to 
   create a new Tiddler based on a Template *(including specified tags and 
   fields)*? *I'd like either a simple button (no icons please), or a small 
   text field where I could write the name of a new tiddler, hit enter, and 
   then said tiddler would be created.



* (what would such a new thing be called anyway?)
** (What do I call it when it's the thing I'm adding/editing in a Tiddler?)
I think the question just got a whole lot easier than I thought... Anyway,

Cheers, Thanks in advance, and sleep well.
