This should do what you want:
<$edit-text tag="input" tiddler="$:/temp/getname" default="" />
<$button> Click me!
<$wikify name="target"
text="$:/long/address/to/tiddler/{{$:/temp/getname}}">
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler" $param=<<target>>
tags="searcher"
caption={{$:/temp/getname}} text={{$:/some/tiddler}}/>
</$wikify>
</$button>
1) an $edit-text widget gets the user input and puts it in a temporary
tiddler "$:/temp/getname"
2) the $wikify widget is used to combine static text with the value from
the temporary tiddler
3) the value of the resulting "target" variable is used as the $param for
the new tiddler title
4) the value from the temporary tiddler is also used as the caption text
for the new tiddler
