Hi, I've been thinking about this (using Org-mode and TW as
mutually-beneficial systems), and I suspect that Org is a poor means of
approaching TW's concerns regarding hypertext. With that said, I think that
the combination of them both can be useful and easier done than you might
be considering.
If you create a means of exporting a set of tiddlers (if not all) as an Org
file that you read from ("Read"), then track your edits in an alternate Org
file ("Write"), you can use the TODO functionality offered by Org for
planning updates to your canonical Org file (Read). This would be done by
cloning and refiling entries from Read to Write.
This is a workflow that I've been planning to use mostly via my phone, with
the Orgzly Android app, as I've wanted an easy-ish means of accessing my TW
archives and recording planned updates.
Exporting tiddlers as an Org file isn't too difficult with the Node JS
version. I've made a template for exporting a list of all tiddlers' titles
here, and by adding a Transclude widget, we can include the body of the
tiddlers, too, as Org notes' note content:
https://gitlab.com/bthall/publicwiki/blob/master/tiddlers/journals-feed.tid
You then need to use a command similar to the one below to export this as
an Org file:
tiddlywiki publicwiki --render "journals-feed" journals-feed.org text/plain
"" exportFilter "[tag[Journal]]"
Note that with the above command, I am outputting an Org file with only
posts tagged `Journal`. Journals are a poor example of a case where you'd
use this functionality, but I made this as a step towards outputting Atom
feeds for my posts, namely my Journal entries.
Additionally, adding tags to the output is not only easy but makes the
matter of tracking which entries are duplicates (entries that have already
been inputted to TW, versus those that are wholly new): if you add a dummy
tag to the template, preceded by a colon, then append to the list of tags
the tiddlers' tags followed by a colon to finish the listing of tags. For
example: `:oldNews:[[actual tag]:]`
