Beside or instead the suggested layer we also could add a "category" that could be a string, that denotes the layer in an abstracted way. For instance "LT". "LowerThird" etc. could tell the system to play the template on a defined layer, while "Bug" would be another layer. That would let a client to define these layer internally the way it needs it, and frees the template author of the need to know these details.

I agree with this!
I suggest that we name such a thing "layerName" or similar, to emphasize that it is tied to a certain layer.
