But ... as I asked earlier. Is this true if dragging and dropping from an external web site? I suspect not, since knowing the url to a web site is what browsers do all the time. So, it should be possible to drag and drop and then construct a tiddler based on the file type and file name. AND, if that server was the same as the server the TW was on, it should be possible to even to construct a relative path. Then you would have an easy way to add new things to a TW. And since the path is stored in a relative configuration, it would also work as a stand-alone TW with external files. So you could use tiddlyserver to collect data (something that is clunky now) but then use the TW offline (when away from the desktop and/or on mobile devices).
