Is there someway to do this without writing a script?

Well, if you consider selecting 'Start Recording' from the scripts menu 'not writing a script', then yes ;-)

Create the clippings you need for your file. (As suggested by Bill in his first reply)
Start recording.
Create a new empty file.
Add the clippings you want (whose placeholders will be substituted as exepcted)
Stop recording.
Name the script for the document template you want.

You then have a named script, available from the Script menu, which creates the templated file you wanted.

R

(PS This procedure creates really simple to edit scripts too :

tell application "BBEdit"
        activate
        make new text document
insert clipping alias "Main Drive:Users:dd:Library:Application Support:BBEdit:Clippings:Universal Items:Current Date & Time" into text window 1
end tell
)
