I think that these two desires are contradictory. Part of what I'm trying to say is that it's a highly nontrivial problem which propositions are even meaningful, let alone true, if you specify possible worlds at a sufficiently high level of detail. For example, at an extremely high level of detail, you might specify a possible world by specifying a set of laws of physics together with an initial condition for the universe. This kind of specification of a possible world doesn't automatically allow you to interpret intuitive referents like "I," so the meaning of a statement like "I am holding a glass of water" is extremely unclear.
How do you know what things are rigid designators if you neither know how to specify possible worlds nor how to determine what's in them?
I think this conversation is now well into the territory of diminishing return so I'll leave it at that.
