If you have to manually select just your entries, then this is
not a "simply" task.

But it is much more work than just editing the PATH. And you
have to modify the registry every time you add or delete a
utility.

No, just typing 1,2 or 3 in a cmd window doesn't work if you
use the AppPath method instead of PATH. CMD doesn't look into
the registry.

Not if there are just a few templates (because you have to type more).

With your example:
If 1.bat, 2.bat and 3.bat should insert 10, 20 or 30 separator lines.
I would just make one batch file with the name 0.bat and this content:

@echo off
set /a n=%~n0% * 10
if %n%==0 set /p n=How much lines?
(for /l %%i in (1,1,%n%) do @echo ==============================&echo.)|clip
pause

Then generate 3 more names for the file:
  
mklink /h 1.bat 0.bat
mklink /h 2.bat 0.bat
mklink /h 3.bat 0.bat

It is still only one file but with four names. It doesn't matter
which one you edit, the content is always identical.

But if you start the batch by the name 1.bat, 10 lines are stored
in the clipboard. 2.bat stores 20 and 3.bat 30 lines. If you start
it by 0.bat, you are asked for the number.
