Hi iamdar... I'd approach it like so:

Create a tiddler that contains the things you want. Tag it with 
$:/tags/ViewTemplate

Surround the content with a "conditional listwidget" i.e something that 
recognized some unique characteristic for e.g "character" or "town" etc. 
The simplest might be to tag all such tiddlers with that tag. I.e surroudn 
the template code with:

<$list filter="""[all[current]tag[Character]]""">
(the template code)
</$list>

Then to have it apply to a tiddler, you just tag that tiddler Character. In 
viewmode, you'll then see the template which can have e.g SelectWidgets and 
stuff.

Note that in the code, you use <<currentTiddler>> to refer to the tiddler 
that the template is used in. (That [all[current]...] could actually be 
written [all<currentTiddler>....] but it is a special case for the all[] 
operator)

BTW, if this really IS what you're after, then the term is "conditional 
templates" (...even if I'm not sure it is used in the docs, but it ought to 
be)

<:-)
