I think if you set up the section and elevation tools (regardless of favourites) in your template to be creating views, it defaults to this if you activate the tool after starting a new project from the template.
Picking a favourite might make it jump back to unlinked though, no experience with it.
We have some sections / elevations setup in our template and generally copy them around or use syringe to pick up settings.
