There was a way of creating templates in LO as well, just that it's a hell lot of more work to do it then in DCS...
It's all in the Meinit.xml. You already have some templates, like SAM sites for example, and under those, if you're skillful enough, you can add your own, with your preferred units and formation/coordinates. Im not sure how to do it myself, but I remember some stuff on LockonFiles.com which basically gave you OSA sam sites and such. Might be worth looking into if you're desperate for it.
