Have you given the external library a title?
Not exactly sure what your use case is, but if you look at my tiddly-calc
<https://github.com/mklauber/tiddly-calc> plugin, you can see that at the
start of math.js
<https://github.com/mklauber/tiddly-calc/blob/master/math.js#L2> I tell
tiddlywiki what the title, type, and module-type of this file is. This
lets tiddlywiki add it to the tiddler store
<https://tiddlywiki.com/dev/#Datamodel>where it can then be referenced by
require. You can look at line 15 of calc.js
<https://github.com/mklauber/tiddly-calc/blob/master/calc.js#L15> to see
how I do that.
