Calling a new template page

[dirtwaterfox]

I want to set some static content and I would like to create a new .tpl page for it. By adapting my index.tpl page, I can retain the styles and include all the plug-ins in the sidebar.

I can't seem to figure out where to insert my hack so that the link calls the new .tpl page.

Using the static_page plug-in doesn't suit, since it looks like it would be in the sidebar, and the desired links have to be in the banner.

I'm thinking it should be pretty straightforward?
