That's the best way to do it then I suppose. You might be able to put 
the community in the notes variable of the hostextinfo and then use it 
from there (I don't know to what extent the host macros are expanded for 
checks, but it could be worth a try).

The main problem is that you'll HAVE to write down the authentication 
info somewhere. Templates makes you do it once, I suppose, so that's 
most likely the best solution (assuming you don't want to set your 
read-only authinfo to the same thing everywhere).
