Enterprise templates - variable in template card

You can specify a template card with card variables however can you default a field based on an Enterprise PDM Template variable? For example, I want to create several Enterprise PDM Templates for "Specifications" documents but use the same template data card for each. However, since we have different source documents for different "types" of specifications, I have to create an Enterprise PDM template for each since I can use variables in the source file path. Since I want to use the same template card and have only 1 for all types of specifications, can I pass a variable for the "Type" to the template card since the user has already selected the type of specification from the menu?
