Treat external files as individual tiddlers. This allows you to write about [[CSS Template|example-template.css]], then on the example-template.css tiddler, you can have a link to the file. For simplicity, have a reference folder in the same directory of your TiddlyWiki to hold miscellaneous files can be good. You could then write
[[View file|reference/example-template.css]] and then perhaps you might expand more on the file in question. You can also then do things with the list-links <https://tiddlywiki.com/static/list-links%2520Macro%2520(Examples).html> macro such as <<list-links "[suffix[.css]]">> to view all of your css files. Deciding on a consistent file naming convention (and documenting about it in your TiddlyWiki) would also be helpful.
