Within the domain of a. only generated/exported b. only read/imported c. only to those that can be updated either within Leo or externally (aka "two-way" files)? I'm understanding your @template idea as fitting within "a". Is that correct? My second concern is with what I believe to be an unnecessarily strict blanket rule >> keeping clones out of @file branches > When the "master source" file is externally modified, my use case specifically requires one (and only one) instance of the cloned nodes to remain in an @ <file> branch that allows importing - @shadow in the "b" case above, optionally @file when "c" is allowed. Can that need be made to fit within your @templating scheme?
