Halfway down this thread, Jeremy suggested an approach for selecting a random tiddler which seemed to me to be the cleanest method. I don't know if anyone tried to implement this $action-chooserandom widget, so I did it myself and thought I'd share the result. The notation is essentially the same as Jeremy's suggestion, except I used attribute names with the $ prefix (is there a good reason for the inconsistency on use of $ in different widgets? I often get errors due to guessing wrongly, and sometimes these can be data-deleting errors), and I also have a $field attribute.
My widget can be found here: http://ng110.tiddlyspot.com/#%24%3A%2Fng110%2Fwidgets%2Faction-chooserandom.js and an example of use can be found here: http://ng110.tiddlyspot.com/#Choose%20Random%20Demo Cheers, Neil.
