As Pierre C said in comment 45 and Patrick Smits in comment 47, the current
workflow with the extension is sufficient and need not to be changed. Please
test the extension and you will see. For a developer, the extension can be the
reference.

As far as I know, textboxes and other objects are not in the scope of the
extension. I wouldn't extend the scope of the feature by now. It worked very
well till now.

As Patrick Smits said in comment 47, nothing has to be changed in the template
manager or in the workflow with linked files. You can edit a template with the
template manager. Editing the template always opens the current template
available in the template manager.
The only new that has to be implemented is the place where the link to a
template can be applied or changed or deleted (as I said in the last point in
my comment 42).
