I believe it will be possible with the new coming DIALOG 2.

But you can try that one using CocoaDialog (it's only a fast thought  
idea :):

Create a command:
Input: Entire Document
Command:

parsed_filename="abc.txt"
filename="$(CocoaDialog filesave --with-directory `dirname  
"$TM_FILEPATH"` --with-file "$parsed_filename" )"
if [ -n "$filename" ]; then
	cat >"$filename"
	mate "$filename"
fi

Key: what you like


The variable "parsed_filename" is set via a regexp parsing the second  
line of your template in beforehand.

The only tiny hook is that you have to close the untitled document  
manually.
