Yeah, I think we're going to need several polls that start as general as possible and get increasingly specific.  Really what we need to be doing is figuring out how we can generalize all of these options.  Something like:

"When [someone] gains..."
"When [someone] draws..."
"When [someone] trashes..."
"When [someone] reveals..."
"When [someone] plays..."
"At the [start/end] of [game state]..." ([game state] could be things like your turn, another player's turn, your buy phase, etc.)
And maybe include a poll option for "other" to give some of the whackier options a chance.

Then decide who [someone] is and what has to be gained/drawn/trashed/etc. in later polls.

I think first we should vote on whether the reaction should sometimes take place on your turns (tunnel, market square, watchtower), or always on an opponent's turns (most other reactions), or even only on your turns (I do not think there are any such reactions currently).

"At the start of your turn..."

No, seriously. A card that does something different when you start your turn with it in hand as compared to when you draw it later.

I still don't think this requires a Reaction type.  "If this is the first action you play this turn..." accomplishes nearly the same thing.

If there are an overwhelming amount of choices, you could have multiple polls with some of the suggestions on each and then pit the winners against each other.

It does, unless you play more than one, or it is intended to be useable twice per turn. But you are right, it's probably a little too similar.

You could have terminal that is self-countering, but it it is countered then you get +1 action to make up for it.  That would meet both the 'action-reaction' and the 'sometimes terminal' conditions.

When another player plays a Hedge Witch, you may reveal this card.  If you do, that card has no effect on you, and if it is the first time you've reacted to that card, that player gets +1 card, +1 action.

That kind of thing.

Hedge Witch
Each other player may reveal a Hedge Witch from their hand. Those who don't gain a Curse. If everyone did, +1 Card, +1 Action.

Yeah, but that's not a reaction :-)

That's his point.  There's no need to do that as a reaction because it's simpler as a regular Action.
