DWTs for P&ID and P3D Settings to New Project

I created folders to store my DWTs within the ProjectTemplate folder structure, specifically for P&IDs and P3D models.

 

Currently, the ISOs and Orthos DWT templates are copied over into the new project when created off of the Project Template.  Yet, the P&IDs and P3D templates will remain pointing to the DWTs that are within the settings of the ProjectTemplate.  

 

So, for argument sake, what if I wanted the opposite to happen?  Or, what I am really after, I wanted the P&IDs and P3D DWTs copied into the new project.  Any XML editing that would help?

Out of curiosity, would you comment on the why behind this? What is the advantage of this configuration?

You can do this rearrangement manually. But you're wanting to know if the project creation process can be tweaked to make this happen automatically, is that correct?

The 'why' is that for one client, each project uses a different titleblock and border.  So, the Project Template has a P&ID template with a skeleton titleblock and once the new project is created, the workflow thought was to have the P&ID DWT created within the new project and add the unique parts of the title block as an xref.  Of course, right now, that is being done "manually" by changing the settings in the Project Setup after the new project is created.  So, was looking to cut out a "post processing" step or two.  So, wondering if I could tweak the project setup rather than do the after setup properties change, copy template folder over, etc.
