You should be able to use the index property of the action-setfield widget:
<$action-setfield $tiddler="mydatatiddler" $index="name.middle"
$value={{$:/temp/person!!name.middle}} />
The fields may seem clunky, but they are probably a better long-term
choice, since there are so many filter operators that use them. There's
very limited abilities with the dictionary tiddlers.
