Yes, absolutely. The recent work on external images is intended to
eventually support this use-case.

The main limitation is that when served from a file URI or a static HTTP
server it isn't possible for TW to scan the filesystem to discover the .tid
files; it will need to have a list of the filenames and metadata for each
external tiddler.

We can work around that limitation with TiddlyFox or TiddlyDesktop. A
couple of years ago I made an experimental implementation of TW5 that used
the Dropbox API to scan for .tid files, which worked quite well too.

Best wishes
