Actually, the <$list> widget WILL do what you want:
1) First, create a tiddler, ListOfTitles, containing tiddler titles using a
whitespace-separate list with doubled-brackets around titles with spaces in
them. For example:
ListOfTitles
-------------------
[[foo bar]]
baz
[[mumble frotz]]
gronk
snork
---------------------
2) Then, use this button definition:
<$button>
make new tiddlers from list
<$list filter={{ListOfTitles}}>
<$action-setfield $tiddler={{!!title}} text=""/>
</$list>
</$button>
Note: using <$list> inside <$button> requires TW v5.1.8 or above.
