Hi Ed Have a look at the documentation on substories:
http://tiddlywiki.com/#Creating%20SubStories Here you'd be putting the substory in a sidebar. To make links target it, the main navigator widget in the page template would need modifying so that it uses a transclusion to configure the story list, instead of always pointing to the same story list. That would let you create a select widget or radio buttons for choosing which story river should be the current link target.
