You can script it, e.g.:
bpy.ops.wm.link_append(
   directory="/home/dmbasso/projects/lilith/template.blend/Material/",
   filepath="template.blend/Material/Hair",
   filename="Hair",
   link=False, instance_groups=False,
   relative_path=False)

Btw, keep up the good work, the concept of your addon is really useful.

Cheers,

Daniel
