I believe you would like to follow a link to svg file and have it open
in one of the many external editors depending on whether the link is
"visited" (read-only) or "opened" (edit). May be others could help you
here.
What you need to begin with is a home-brewed elisp command to "view" or
"edit" a file based on (say a prefix modifier).
Read on. Hints below.

I don't think there are any svg or png experts here in this list and I
don't think any of us understand what you mean by template. Please
provide an example.

We never proposed solutions. We only gave you hints. Your questions are
better suited to help-gnu-emacs list. See URL:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/

You are the expert here and you have right to feel the way you feel -
"unsatisifed" and "disappointed". Not many of us use eog, inkview, gimp
or inkscape. At the minimum you should list how these apps open a given
file - ie, the exact command line string to open a given file and then
you can use `call-process' to launch the app.
