I meant titles as in beamer: you get a whole table of contents at the 
top of your sheets, with the current topic being highlighted, and 
clicking any of the titles jumps you to the topic.

By the way, has anyone noticed that the current version of Ipe supports 
sections and subsections in multi-page documents (they appear as 
bookmarks in the PDF file, so you can jump directly to the beginning of 
each section)?

As for templates:  make the contents a group, and put whatever you want 
(I use a label, a horizontal line, and a logo on my presentations).
