So, it's looking very much like the buttons are the only way to go with this. Shame, but I already have a couple of custom buttons so its not exactly a hardship, Id just rather be able to type as normal, save that Tiddler and then immediately click on a link to a non-existent tiddler and carry on. Oh well.
Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. I have buttons already so Ill have to keep going with them for now.
