 * When using the shortcode in a template it only outputs a regular link to the 
   same page I’m at. Is there a way to do it this way?

 * Hello,
    sorry it would not be possible, currently Locatoraid can be on a page
   of its own. Otherwise it will give a link to the page. As a workaround you could
   make use of the Locatoraid widget that renders a search form.
