T J, In your question you use an alternative jargon to describe tiddlywiki, then say "I've found that one dictionary can be set as the value of a key/attribute/field on another dictionary." Could you please spell this out a but more, and as mark suggests explain your objectives better.
As a platform I do not believe there is any database model that can not be represented in tiddlywiki, although some such as one that demands"referential integrity" as Mark mentions would be a little convoluted. Could you explain this further?, but first let me try and answer the question. Any Field can be use to store lists of tiddlers, just as the tags field already is doing, and there is a convention that uses the list field of a given tiddler to list the tiddlers tagged with that tiddler, allowing drag-able reordering, and the listops operators etc.. are there to manipulate such lists. "Set[ing] one tiddler or a Title List <https://tiddlywiki.com/#Title%20List> of tiddlers as the value of a custom field on another tiddler." Is possible using the above mechanism, and set-field messages, list ops widget and more. However I believe if we could see your objectives we may even be able to give more detailed or alternative options.
