Add option for multiple org-roam templates

[bdarcus]

We currently only allow a single org-roam template, configured with citar-org-roam-capture-template-key.

Notwithstanding my broader concern about org-roam's future, it might be nice to make this more flexible, including allowing selection among multiple templates in completing-read.

To add into this I personally have my org-roam-capture-template to different templates for different roam notes type. Here is how I set it up.

    (setq org-roam-capture-templates
            `(("d" "[per|id] Default - Permanent/Index Notes" plain
               (file ,(concat doom-private-dir "orgtemplates/roamDefault.org"))
               :if-new
               (file+head "perNotes/%<%Y%m%d%H%M%S>-${slug}.org"
                          "#+TITLE: ${title}\n")
               :unnarrowed t)
              ("l" "[lit] Literature Notes" plain
               (file ,(concat doom-private-dir "orgtemplates/roamLit.org"))
               :if-new
               (file+head "litNotes/%<%Y%m%d%H%M%S>-${slug}.org"
                          "#+TITLE: ${title}\n")
               :unnarrowed t)
              ("m" "[lit] Podcast/Video Notes" plain
               (file ,(concat doom-private-dir "orgtemplates/mediaRef.org"))
               :if-new
               (file+head "litNotes/media/%<%Y%m%d%H%M%S>-${slug}.org"
                          "#+TITLE: ${title}\n")
               :unnarrowed t)
              ("c" "[lit] Course Notes" plain
               (file ,(concat doom-private-dir "orgtemplates/course.org"))
               :if-new
               (file+head "litNotes/course/%<%Y%m%d%H%M%S>-${slug}.org"
                          "#+TITLE: ${title}\n")
               :unnarrowed t)
              ("b" "[ref] Book References" plain
               (file ,(concat doom-private-dir "orgtemplates/bookRef.org"))
               :if-new
               (file+head "refNotes/noter/${citekey}.org"
                          "#+TITLE: ${title}\n")
               :unnarrowed t)
              ("a" "[ref] Article References" plain
               (file ,(concat doom-private-dir "orgtemplates/articRef.org"))
               :if-new
               (file+head "refNotes/noter/${citekey}.org"
                          "#+TITLE: ${title}\n")
               :unnarrowed t)
              ("p" "[pep] People's Contact" plain
               (file ,(concat doom-private-dir "orgtemplates/roamPeople.org"))
               :if-new
               (file+head "contacts/%<%Y%m%d%H%M%S>-${slug}.org"
                          "#+TITLE: ${title}\n")
               :unnarrowed t))))

Even until today, I use org-ref to new notes creation. The way how org-ref handles it is by sending the user into org-roam-capture-templates selection page directly which allows me to pick which template that I want to use. Especially since I need to differentiate articles (coming from Zotero bibtex) and books (coming from Calibre bibtex) for my roam notes.

I am not sure how is your plan to implement this. But this has been one feature that keeps me from using citar-org-roam integration fully. I have it installed on my config just to navigate to the created notes but not for creating new notes.
