I asked for a feature like this here: 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywiki/-KimJ3WSjfo

I think with the current tech you could have  a snippet with a button next 
to it. If you push the button, it updates the text. If you don't push the 
button it stays the same. Hmmm ... maybe the button could have a style 
attached, so that it's only visible when you want it to be visible. Of 
course, that still means you will have to drag/drop the snippet and then 
press the button.

In your particular case, maybe it would be easier to hard code the text 
snippet with the actual author and title. Obviously you are already going 
through some process to change the text in the first tiddlers, so it seems 
like changing the snippet text would not be that much harder.
