-:It would certainly be possible to construct a single map that behaved that way. As a template I don't know of a way off hand (because the objects get reused for every page that uses the template. But I seem to remember seeing something like that before, so there's probably some sneaky way of doing it, I'll see if I can find the page where I saw it.

-:::: If it were a straight html page it would be easy to do, but the wiki parsing engine only allows a subset of straight html since anyone can edit it.
