Okay, thank you all for your help.
The final piece was put in place by Mark S. here:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywiki/g1qp3_Ln-J4
and here's the final thing that works
\define s.test.result(mytestname,myresult)
<$transclude tiddler="$mytestname$ Dxs" index="$myresult$"/>
\end
\define s.test(testname,testfield)
<$select tiddler="""$testname$""" field="""$testfield$""">
<$list filter="[list[testDictionary##$testname$]]"><!-- gets the list of
options for this test-->
<option value=<<currentTiddler>>><$text text=<<currentTiddler>>/></option>
</$list>
</$select>
<$set name="result" value={{$testname$!!$testfield$}}>
<$macrocall $name=s.test.result myresult=<<result>> mytestname="$testname$"
/>
</$set>
\end
<<s.test "Lumbar Kemps" "lopp">>
