Cloning the rendered tiddler would not be a solution in my use case, which I didn't describe very well. Here it is:
I am reading a book or ebook. I type the author and title into text-inputs before taking any notes. Then when I take a note I either would stamp (ideally) or copy and paste the book's information after the note, and just add the page #. Then when I read a different book I enter the new title and author into the text input and take notes for that book in the same way. But without changing the title and author in the notes for the previous book.
