Eureka, the missing link!
I am pretty sure this question has been around for quite some time (even by myself), however I have never gotten a correct answer or seen a working example before. Until now!
How do you pass a variable from a Page Template, or Component Template, to another Component Template (using compound templating).
This post by Will Price seems to be the solution! I have yet to try it, but why would it not work, right? Thanks for posting!
A very useful functionality where it is needed to have a central content and structure publication, but does not have a site behind it. I have seen a few instances where this was solved via an elaborate Event system (bad!) or even a fake site (bad!).
So, this is a good one to remember!
Another great in depth guide by Robert Curlette about how to use the Tridion GUI Extension to create an extra tab in the editing window.
Summary, of what he will show on his blog:

Publishing from Template Code Using an Impersonated User
OK, so be warned up front that impersonation in the Template code is actually a bod practice. If done improperly it will look worse than this Elvis Presley impersonator!
So, that was the warning, if you would still like to continue and read about how it can be done take a look at Mihai Cadariu’s example code.

Vesa Paakkanen has created a “TOM.Net extension library/start-up kit” and has finally (these are his words) managed to trim the code down about 700 lines.
He has his project in Github, so hop to it and please contribute and fork it!! TOM.NET extension library start-up kit project.

Another Tridion 2011 GUI Extension example by Robert Curlette:
Adding a new column to the Listview in Tridion 2011 is easy with using Data Extenders. With a few simple config changes we can add the TCM URI column to our default view – no code needed! In this article I will explain how to add the URI column as well as give some debugging tips.

Netbiscuits’ mark-up language does not have standard support for Tridion linking. Vesa Paakkanen shows a way how to get it working anyway (in .NET)
