Thanks, that pointed me in the right direction.  Searching the list for
vmethod info I discovered info on writing TT plugins, and the numerous
plugins already available.  It looks like someone already wrote a Rails like
LinkTo plugin:

For my personal projects I'd probably create something similar that takes
parameters similar to uri_for_action, something like:

    [% LinkTo('Recipes', 'recipe/list') %]
