Our customer should be able to place a component in any of the available page 
templates. He has no access to the Page classes. The component works as a 
loop component but instead of providing a list of elements to the component, 
the user has to provide a query string and the component uses an injected 
service to get the list. The customer will write the body part of the loop on 
his own but he needs a loop variable to access the properties of the 
elements.

For example:

<t:ProductLoop
    t:id="cheapestProducts"
    t:query="cheapest products"
    t:value="product">
  <a class="small_pic" ><img src="${product.image}" /></a>
</t:ProductLoop>

One solution is to implement a setProduct() and getProduct() in every page but 
I'm looking for a solution that is independent of the page.
