I think this will do what you want, if that is literally what you meant:
\define report()
Report: {{$:/temp/reporttitle}}
<$list filter="[{$:/temp/myfilter}]">
! <$view field="title"/>
{{!!text}}
</$list>
\end
<$edit-text tiddler="$:/temp/myfilter" tag="input" size="50" default="Name
of field to copy"/><br/>
<$edit-text tiddler="$:/temp/reporttitle" tag="input" size="50" default="
Your New Title Here"/>
<$wikify name="snapshot" text="<<report>>" output="html">
<$button>
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler"
title={{$:/temp/reporttitle}} tags="Snapshot" text=<<snapshot>>/>
Make Snapshot
</$button>
</$wikify>
Good luck!
