Thanks BurningTreeC. Your code is what made it possible.

An issue, that actually get's back to your original question in that other 
thread; It would be neat to also be able to use this when in edit mode. I.e 
drag'n drop an icon and have the code appear in the editor. Currently, only 
the *title* of the source tiddler is dropped but it would be better if 
dropping these Drag'n Drop Blocks automatically caused cloning of the 
source tiddler, like it does in view mode. IMO drag'n dropping such blocks 
should use the same command in edit mode and view mode, i.e merely drag and 
drop, no "Ctrl+...".

Another issue is that in view mode it is currently not possible to *inject* 
rather than *append* the block. It is not sure that one would want the 
block at the end. I'm guessing this is a difficult problem, i.e to 
recognize exactly *where* the block is dropped in the view mode text.

Also, we should ideally have blocks that can *encompass* existing content, 
such as <div>...</div> or //...// and, in edit mode, maybe even \define ... 
\end.

...

In that other thread Surya expressed a wish for using this to make tables. 
I agree. I think it would be neat with a solution I've seen in word editors 
where you click(!) on the icon and have a 'grid' pop up that symbolizes a 
generic table, where you visually mark out how many rows*columns you want 
in your table. (Suryas wish for the table fields to then be editable in 
view mode is a different matter though. Solvable, but a different matter.)

Generally, the idea to have the icons really be *buttons* is pretty neat. 
Like it the table case, it can be used to show a popup for filling in any 
parameter/attribute values - but as a button it can of course be used for 
anything.

...

Idea: Drop outside of tiddlers, e.g to left of story river, to create a 
*new* tiddler with that code. Would make for simple way to create template 
tiddlers.
...

Idea for later; imagine a toolbox with such icons, perhaps residing in a 
sidebar tab. Maybe that toolbox could also have a drop area... that, if 
code is dropped there, creates a tiddler with the dropped text as content 
and a new icon is added to the toolbox for that tiddler! A kind of 
clipboard for permanently reusable text/code.
