    I want to use a custom template in my theme, but I can not use it as a page-template, because I want to release the theme.

    Is there any way to link to a template without using it as a page-template or something? I want to use a typical link anywhere in the theme.

    Is this a good or bad way to solve it?

    Link on index.php gets the following code:
    <a href="?=blubb_archives">archive</a>

    Function in functions.php:

    $current_qry = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
$required_qry = '=blubb_archives';

if ( $current_qry == $required_qry ) {
	function blubb_archives () {
		include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/archives.php');
		exit;
	}
	add_action('template_redirect', 'blubb_archives');
}

    What it does:
    If the current url contains the query “blubb_archives”, the function loads and displays archive.php

    I am using the link only at the frontpage (index.php) and nowhere else.

    Seems as if I am the first to solve this problem, eh? 😀
