Use your own query-function and a global variable. 

For example

    (defvar xyz-name nil)

    (defun xyz-read ()
        (interactive)
        (setq xyz-name (read-from-minibuffer "xyz-name? ")))

    (defun xyz-func ()
        (upcase xyz-name))

    (tempo-define-template "xyz" 
        '("xyz { " (xyz-read) " } { " 'xyz-name " } { " (xyz-func) " }" )
        "xyz" "desc" 'elisp-tempo-tags)
