You can't have a URL template be a regular template. It's either one or
the other. If a URL template then it must be a fully qualified URL (ie.
starts with http://) and the MapServer will redirect to (and not parse)
that page. Presumably since you have HTML files named based on some
attribure key then there's no need to parse the file and the above
advice will work for you.

That should work. Also TEMPLATE 
"query_handler.php?attribute=[ATTRIBUTE]" 
should work if you want to pass it to a server-side script. But you can
not 
use that for queries that might return more than one record
(itemnquery) 
because you can only redirect once.
