1)in your root folder, create a folder 'objects_container'

2)put all your objects in 'objects_container'

3)add 'mytemplate' to the root folder

4)create a python script 'render_object' in the root folder:

object_folder = context.object_container
object = getattr(object_folder, context.id)
return mytemplate(object)

5) for each object in the folder, create a python script with same id 
containing
return context.render_object(context)

IOW give access to your users through python scripts (with same ids than 
your objects) which return the string rendered by your template.

This is one way to do it among many others.  CAUTION, I did not test the above.
