For a similar macro which copies the contents of the template to clipboard (rather than creating a new document with it), you can use a lightly modified version of the code in the Keyboard Maestro Execute JavaScript for Automation action:

( Or, of course, use something like Typinator )

JavaScript for Automation source:

// CHOOSE A TEMPLATE AND COPY ITS TEXT TO CLIPBOARD

// 1. CREATE A FOLDER CONTAINING TWO OR MORE MODEL TASKPAPER DOCUMENTS
// 2. SPECIFY THE PATH OF THE FOLDER IN THE templatePath VARIABLE
// 3. RUN MACRO ( requires TaskPaper 3 https://www.taskpaper.com/ )
