 > I would think just adding a filter to add my template folder into the
 hierarchy would be a simple thing, but apparently not...

 This is completely possible using the {{{template_include}}} filter. This
 ticket specifically reflects certain template parts not included in that
 filter, such as header and footer.

 Also, with a plugin you would probably want more control over how your
 template is loaded. I'd look into something similar to WooCommerce's
 {{{locate_template}}} function as it allows you to pass the exact
 variables you need to the template and keep your template clear of
 business logic.
