Mark, I have posted up a copy of my Edit-Fields development wiki (as at now) if you are interested. I am yet to finish incorporating the macros you shared.
have a look if you have the opportunity http://tiddlywiki.psat.com.au/EditFields.html I intend to set the dragonfield to the 4 arrows icon, and the droplet icon to drop values on a field (and replace contents), and somewhere else to drop on a tiddler. I expect the drogonfield (content) can also be dropped in an edit-field or Edit tiddler window.
