We do exactly this, using a callback which I've attached to this message.

You should install it in your local mason root as

Callbacks/DefaultCreateContent/Ticket/Create.html/Default

This is based on

<http://requesttracker.wikia.com/wiki/CannedReplies>
but rather simpler. Once you've installed the callback, any queues which
has a template called DefaultCreateTemplate will have the content appear
in the create ticket form.

Hopefully you can get what you want either from this, or from other
ideas on the wiki.

Cheers,
Dominic.
