that's not true.
Example: lowlevel/config

You can use a different template by defining:

$GLOBALS['TBE_STYLES']['htmlTemplates']['templates/config.html'] = 
'fileadmin/templates/new_config.html';

you only have to look for the name is used to set template:
$this->doc->setModuleTemplate('templates/config.html');
