Having noticed the availability of a Linux desktop https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyDesktop/releases version of Tiddlywiki, i was wondering if anyone here had managed to get it going on MX?

If i click on nw as suggested there, a window pops up asking which application to open with.

Sorry about that, the .app extension is for Mac. :p How about building it following this guide? I'm currently at work so can't test it myself at the moment.
Building
Run download-nwjs.sh to download the latest nw.js binaries
Download the TiddlyWiki5 repo from https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5 to a sibling directory to the TiddlyDesktop repo called "TiddlyWiki5"
Run bld.sh
Execute output/linux32/nw or output/linux64/nw

MX Menu Editor did the trick!

(usually, one would expect clicking on that NW would suffice to get the app going).
