Od1n: The purpose of "mapping_by_invoking" is precisely to make #invoke's. Though, I'm not a huge fan of such methods (a bit too much complicated) and for specific needs in a template, I would rather suggest to create a sidecar module. Anyway, I'm removing my message as it wasn't relevant actually.
