Create a Tool to Search in TestStand Templates

Hi,

I am trying to create a "Custom Tool" which allows the user to "Search" for a command in TestStand's template.
We are creating a template to fasten the automation of tests by new TestStand users, but said template is growing exponentially bigger everyday.
The idea would be to have something like this:

I know we can access the Template values by using the "Engine.GetTemplateFile" method, but my TestStand knowledge ends there.

It is possible to do something like that?

Other (less preferable) alternative would be to just "export" the Template as a XML\Tree file so we could "search" outside TestStand, without having to add command by command in a separated Excel sheet.
Something like this, but stopping in the last "Step" elements (such as the "Bench Power On"), since we only need the names and don't need the rest of subelements (DataSource, TS, etc.).
