The documentation is missing, but the feature is present. There are some notes 
in the release tiddler for the version when the feature was released:

http://tiddlywiki.com/#Release%205.1.10

To test it, try visiting this link:

http://tiddlywiki.com/#Alice%20in%20Wonderland

If you see the full text of “Alice in Wonderland”, then it is working. 
Basically, the tiddler has a _canonical_uri field pointing to a .tid file.

The only browser-specific limitation I’m aware of is that Chrome won’t display 
external tiddlers when the TiddlyWiki is loaded from a file:// URI. But there 
are many other gotchas that make external tiddlers pretty tricky to work with 
if one is only working in the standalone configuration.

Best wishes

Jeremy.
