In my case I use a program called NoteTab Pro for that. Not notePAD, but
NoteTAB; it's an excellent text editor and html generator with the
ability to, among many more things, hold templates and/or clickable
read-only files in one of its many clipbooks. Short learning curve,
inexpensive Pro version, and a pay-for Pro version is available.
Creating your own specialized clips is also easy; just highlight/copy
and then go to the clip pane and witch to the Clip pane and paste; the
highlighted part then becomes available at one double-click.
NO affiliation; just a long time user here.

You can check it out here:

of those utilities that once you have tried it, you won't go back. Jerry
