I have a document template in which I need the header includes the name of the selected element (the element where I press F8 and then select the template in order to get the document).

As you know, when you select the checkboxes in the left part of the template editor, the yellow markers are included in the body of the template but not in the header nor footer.

Is there a way to include the element name (or the yellow marker) in the template header? Or: how do I include the element name in the header of all the pages of a document template?

No, I don't think that's possible.
You can only include document properties in the header.

If your whole document documents a single element, and you want to put that information in the header, you might want to look into virtual documents.
With those you have a bunch of tagged values to control the document properties.
