Create dynamic template feature
At present, each .md file can only have one static .hbs file referenced in the frontmatter.
It would be great to have dynamic templates instead of hard-coded templates, per .md file.
See this link in developer docs for more information.
How would the template be specified dynamically? One of the ways I can imagine is through request parameters.
That is what I was also thinking; if a user clicks on a link from a page in the site that uses a specific template i.e. after clicking they arrive at a new page (from template_1.hbs). No matter what page they have just landed on, the arrival at the new page is rendered using that same template_1.hbs (and not the .hbs that is typed into the frontmatter).
If leaving the original hard-coded .hbs template name in the frontmatter is possible (as part of this upgrade) then this would be a really quick update for the developer documentation (would not have to update every .md files frontmatter). But I understand if each .md needs to have a dynamic value in place of that original hard-coded value. Still thinking at this stage so any ideas are welcome :)
