Hello Mat,
that is a cool idea, I do like it... there is however another
possibility to do this that you might not be aware of:
You can very easily add your own editor buttons in the editor toolbar.
Just create a tiddler, tag it with|$:/tags/EditorToolbar|and include the
following fields:
* condition: filter-like expression to determine if the button should
be shown in the editor .. for normal tiddlers, this should be set
to|[<targetTiddler>!has[type]]
[<targetTiddler>type[text/vnd.tiddlywiki]]|
* icon: if you want an icon
* caption: if you want a textual caption next to the icon
* description: to add a tooltip
Furthermore the following widget-message will insert text at the current
selection, put this as the complete content for the tiddler:
|<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-edit-text-operation"
$param="replace-selection" text="Hello Mat!" />|
There is more documentation here:

I am not completely sure if this fits your vison for the DragTools
concept, but I hope this was useful to you, keep coming up with cool ideas!

I've wanted a much more visual interface for making TW stuff for a
long time. The new editor toolbar is a step in the right direction but
I think we've scratched the surface. DragTools is another step. In the
end we ought to have a UI that lets most TW use be achieved by visual
manipulation rather than scary curly brackets etc.
