Dotcms: how to set different detail page for single structure per host

Question

It's a question for every DotCms structure, but consider for example the News structure on my DotCms 2.5 installation: the system lets me choose only a single page as "Detail Page".

Since I don't want to create a new structure for every host I'll create, but I want to use the "detail page" mechanism, how can simulate it?

I can't find a way to pass the path to the .html / .vtl template like for example for the login macro (look at $loginFormSourceCode parameter)

Thanks

Dotcms will forward your URLmap to the uri of the selected detail page on the host which is being viewed. So, for example, you have your news structure mapped to /news/detail.html on a server that runs multiple sites, site1 and site2. When a user views a selected news item, each site will then forward the user to a detail page local to its site.

So site1 will forward news items to:

site1.dotcms.com/news/details.html

And site2 will forward news items to:

site1.dotcms.com/news/details.html

These are different pages on the servers (though they can share the same .vtl or code to display the content).
