[TYPO3] TemplaVoila Dynamic Access to stored content element

The task:
I have sections of my template whose content needs to be dynamically
generated, will be static across most of the pages of the site (but will
be changed periodically through the back end), but will be different for
certain pages.
The Idea:
1. Create a content element in a storage folder containing the content.
2. Creating a mapping of type TypoScriptObject in the DS for the main
template of the site.
3. In the root page typoscript, create a typoscript object that points
to or pulls in the content element from the storage folder. Make this
object the path for the typoscriptobject in the DS.
4. In any sub page in which the content needs to change, override that
object in an extension template with the alternate content either by
pulling in a different content element from the storage folder, or
creating a menu, etc.
The problem:
I can't seem to find how I can refer to and thus pull in the content
from the content element in the storage folder via typoscript. I'm sure
it must be possible and indeed it seems like it would be one of the more
basic typoscript functions, but I'm not being able to figure out how to
do it.
If anyone can help me out with this problem I'd be very grateful :) If
you have suggestions for a better way to approach the problem I'd be
interested in that too.
Thanks,
Robert Flach
