Why do you need 5 templates? Each multiselect to show only the articles 
of a specific pubtype?
If so just create an array of articles with the same pubtype with the 
structure being

$options = array(
     array('id' => [articleid], 'name' => [articlename]),
     ....
)

  and set that as an attribute in your tag

<xar:data-output name="..." type="multiselect" options="$options" />

Not exactly sure how you get the array of articles in the first place. 
Presumably the getall function?
