As I vaguely recall from 10+ years ago, it can be done, although it's
not obvious.  I did it by dynamically calling the underlying
acs-templating procs.

In general, I don't think the ACS/OpenACS 4.x request processor design
was EVER carefully thought out with respect to all of AOLserver's
features and use cases.  The OpenACS rp_* Tcl code just grabs control
from the AOLserver mechanisms.  That looked very much lot like the
original developer simply did the obvious straightforward thing that
would work for OpenACS.  Works fine, but as others have commented here
over the years, probably wasn't the optimal way to use the AOLserver
tools.
