How to integrate MII display templates in portal

Hi all,

I'd like to integrate a display template within the portal. Of course I've seen many threads explaining to use an URL Iview. However this looks like a clumsy solution: using an URL for having the server call itself forces the request to go through any loadbalancer/firewall/... there might be in front of the server itself.

In addition, the MII content resides on the same server as the portal, there's no sense in creating an URL iview basically pointing to the server itself.

Can this be done somehow?

Thanks, regards

Vincenzo
