It's even harder if you want it to work outside the English Wikipedia -
different wikis might use different templates which generate slightly
different HTML.

The skinnable content snippets proposal from the brainstorming could be
abused to handle this:
** Explore the possibility of wikitext markup for handling over control
over sections of content to the skin (like
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T25796 but bigger / more generic; Winter
had some great design ideas that could be implemented with such a feature)

Editors would write something like this in the source code:
'''Vincent Willem van Gogh''' {{#snippet|role=pronunciation|IPA=ˈvɪnsɛnt
ˈʋɪləm vɑn ˈɣɔx}}{{#snippet|role=birth and death|birth=30 March
1853|death=29 July 1890}} was a major [[Post-Impressionist]] painter.
and the snippets would turn into different templates on different
devices/skins, in some cases not producing wikicode output at all but
instead pushing the information to a side channel.
