I don't know if there are any plans to add copy constructors, but you might be able to do something similar with includes (e.g. instead of defining your template in a define block, you could define it in an external FXML file and include it where needed).

Currently this has to be done in code... which of course also takes away from the intended work-sharing between application developer and GUI designer.
