nope. There are "special" field modules registered at startup.

no. Every special field has a core module, defined at boot time. created, 
modified, tags, list, color 

Those functions are not generalized atm. .. They "kind of invisible" for 
standard users. 

It is possible to create a plugin, that adds special handling for other 
fields. ... But I'm not 100% sure, if there are side effects. .. I didn't 
use this mechanism yet.

I can point you to the source code, that's responsible. ... this is 
deep-diving ... 

code: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/boot/boot.js#L866
Init: 
https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/core/modules/startup/load-modules.js#L27
usage: 
https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/core/modules/tiddler.js#L34
usage: 
https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/boot/boot.js#L844

If you do a global search for: .fieldModules  ..you'll get the info how 
color field is used with edit widget. ... 

I'm not sure if this helps.
