I have been trying to find a way to do this as well. I think that there may be a way to do this using the updated set widget in the prerelease and something like the combination lock in the Safe tiddler in the interactive fiction thing I am working on (http://zorklike.tiddlyspot.com/). I haven't had any success in actually getting it to work, but I have been poking it.
The tiddler EventTriggerTemplate from the zork-like wiki has an example of some simple nested reveal widgets that could probably be modified by using set, and you could put them in a macro that allows them to take different parameters. You can use this to put if/elseif/else functionality into displayed content using reveal widgets by using a filter and set to pick the state used by the reveal widget. But this is just for revealing content. That is my progress on the problem, I have been lazily learning javascript, hopefully I will just make a plugin. So if you do get a good structure for the widget worked out I will at least try to implement it. It would be a good thing to learn with, but I just started teaching myself so don't expect anything too amazing.
