Use macros (--> metal) and embed them in complete pages....

This was discussed recently (--> archives).
Currently not. A editor specific wrapper would be necessary,
as features such a locking are not standardized...

Of course, when you want to pass arguements, you need to know how
the called objects need them...

"structure" will not do what you like...
As said above, I do not understand your problem (yet)...
