Ah, cool. So something like this if I understand custom functions:
module Puppet::Parser::Functions
newfunction(:remote_template, :url) do |args|
Puppet::Parser::Functions.autoloader.loadall
# TODO fetch the template from its remote source
# TODO and save locally as a temporary template file
# TODO referenced by the variable temp_template
function_template(temp_template)
end
end
