Ability to Create Cross-Template Task Predecessors

Even for savvy WF users, creating cross-project task predecessors doesn't exactly come naturally and aren't very easy to remember how to create. 
When you have campaigns or multi-project initiatives with related dates across projects using the same group of templates often, it's time-consuming to create cross-project predecessors every time in the projects after they're created -- would be a huge efficiency to be able to connect TEMPLATE tasks so that when projects are created with them, the cross-project predecessors are automatically embedded. Cross-project task predecessors are a great feature of WF, but I feel it's under-utilized bc they're hard to create and not able to be created in a more automated way. Having them in templates would be a game changer where you can specify connect X task in Y template with A task in B template.
