From my perspective, I would say that your 'Ask' is more like a web replacement for the old https://www.jsoftware.com/docs/help602/user/common_dialogs.htm mechanism. (It would be interesting to try a full on build of jqt using wasm, but it's looking like the playground is converging slightly with jhs and some other efforts -- it's interesting to see it evolve.)
I think httpget is much closer to what I would expect as a web replacement for 1!:1 That said, the local storage mechanism also works as "a web replacement for 1!:1" - though, for example, a local: url prefix which pulled from local storage should let us use an httpget wrapper to pull from both local storage and cooperating servers. I will have to spend some time digesting some more of what you wrote before I'd be ready to attempt any further impressions.
