Yes, but you'd need to manually use the correct class in every
template and then call the appropriate method. This can be automated
for the general case.

Yes, but this sub ref would need to be created somewhere else, which
would probably end up being at the controller, which is wrong.

By plugin, I meant anything that is called Template::Plugin::* and can
be USEd inside a template (since [% USE Module %] will map to
Template::Plugin::Module).
