This is one of the weaknesses in TW5 -- getting stuff into it linked as external files. It's a multi-step process no matter how you approach it. The most convenient way that I know of currently is to open a separate browser tab to browse your local file system. Then use the "local" mode of tiddlyclip plugin to add files as _canonical_uri tiddlers -- one at a time to your designated main tw file. I'm not sure if tiddlyclip works for chrome, and I'm also not sure if it will survive the impending code-switch in Firefox, but it works for now.
It seems to me that another way would be to use a javascript macro to convert a list of file names into _canonical_uri tiddlers. I've got code somewhere for doing that sort of thing.
