There are three pieces of data:

   * The template name.
   * The class into which it was mixed
   * The path under which it was mixed

So you'd need something where you specified the name of the class you  
mixed into, as well as the path. I could see something like this

     package Wifty::UI;
     mix Wifty::Stuff under '/stuff';
     mix Wifty::Stuff under 'dupe';

     package Wifty::Other;
     mix Wifty::Stuff under 'here';

The data for this should be stored for Wifty::Stuff as:

     $mixed_into = {
         'Wifty::UI'   => [ '/stuff', 'dupe' ],
         'Wfity::Other => [ 'here' ]
     };

Then you'd just need a method (or methods) to interrogate it. Would  
that work for your CRUD?

Best,
