Description

Now that there is a way to template files for http (#10801), it would be useful to be able to do the same thing for files for floppies or cds.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the existing HTTP file templating implementation in the codebase (likely related to issue #10801) and understand how it works. Then, extend similar templating support to floppy and CD file sources.
