So here is my use case and I'd like to propose a feature (obviously I would 
implement and send a pull request).

I have a static site blog (http://tritarget.org/) And to be honest the 
build is way to complicated for my liking. Jekyl kept fighting me and using 
metelsmith now is like a 10 minute deploy step. It's silly. None of which 
takes in to account JavaScript. I'm a JS developer by day. I love 
frameworks like Ember.JS and such. But these frameworks are not so useful 
as a blog because search engines can't crawl it well. Then I saw hoe 
tiddlywiki.com does it! Perfect a fully fledged (and I'll admit, beautiful) 
single page app that does everything I want including writing out tiddlers 
to static files. Perfect!

The gotcha: the current site already has several back links to it. Changing 
the names and file structure of those static HTML files would trash the 
current search results and break a lot of other people's links. So what I 
want to to recreate the site in TiddlyWiki and have my build process also 
render the static files but use a field to determine the outputs 
file/directory names. This way new content can easily be managed and 
created while old content can keep it's legacy paths.

I'd propose to add a feature to look at a tiddlers fields for something 
like "_static_path" and use that (kinda like how external images use 
"_cononical_url").

I'd like to work on this and would be happy to send a PR. Is it worth it 
for the community?
