The question was an invitation to offer more than "yes/ no", because a little 
more direction than "try" can help to avoid one's blind experimentation in 
putting together a document template.

However as the onus was perhaps more on me to have supplied more than a binary 
question, here goes …

… I assume that any set of one or more gen_adr_… placeholders will prompt for 
only a single instance of "which address to use" however in the case where one 
would wish to send communication

        To: Clinician A
        Cc:     Clinician B, Clinician C

can one do this by way of 3 instances of the placeholder, and must some kind of 
delimitation between each instance be provided within the document template?

On a related note, is any storage of receiver_ addresses done somewhere other 
than with the addresses that are prompted-for by gen_ ?
