> it's currently not possible to use TiddlyWiki's import function
That's correct.
There are two separate issues here:
* browser security / access restrictions (same origin policy)
* tiddler origin / sync target
Working around that first item should be fairly straightforward using a
proxy, as described by yourself and Chris. (It probably makes sense to
have a whitelist of permitted domains in the instance config.)
The second issue, however, is somewhat more complicated.
When you import from an external source (say, a plugin repository), do
you want to sync against the original source or to your TiddlyWeb server?
You can't really have both - although one could imageine a macro that
switches destinations on demand (e.g. an Update Plugins button that
restores systemConfig tiddlers' server.* fields to point to the
respective origin, pulls down the latest version via sync and eventually
sets the fields back to TiddlyWeb)...

Here's what we did:
* download the TiddlyWeb-generated TiddlyWiki document
* import from the desired source into our now-local document
* run a little script to set those new tiddlers' server.* fields to
point to our TiddlyWeb server (so we can sync) and make sure the
changecount is higher than zero (so sync picks up the local changes)
Alternatively, uou could import the respective document - either via the
shell (twanager imwiki), or using the adaptor's putTiddlerStore method:
---------------
// get document contents
var localPath = getLocalPath(document.location.toString());
var doc = loadOriginal(localPath);
// send contents to TiddlyWeb
var context = {
host: "http://example.org";,
workspace: "bags/myBag"
};
var callback = function(context, userParams) {
if(context.status) {
displayMessage("import succeeded");
} else {
displayMessage("import failed");
}
};
var adaptor = new config.adaptors.tiddlyweb();
adaptor.putTiddlerStore(doc, context, null, callback);
---------------
HTH.
