It would be great if we could chain templates to avoid cluttering and re-usability.

For example:
Snippet 1:
"This is the text for snippet 1.
[Signature A]"

Snippet 2:
"This is the text for snippet 2.
[Signature A]"

Signature A:
"Footer text"

So when you use Snippet 1 or 2 it would pull in the text from Signature A to be pasted from the clipboard.

Do you mean functions like AText or TextExpander? One Chinese guy made a kind of CodeExpander that seemed to do that, as did atext or TextExpander

Look at this:
https://textexpander.com/
https://codeexpander.com/en/

But I don't know how it was implemented in this project anymore :(
