No, there isn't anything like this. However, you might look at the Master
Place List=>Search and Replace feature (Tmg Manual, p. 248-249). This is a
mighty powerful feature. However, it is a somewhat tricky and thus can be
a slight bit "dangerous" under certain circumstances. But this is pointed
out in the manual.

With this in mind, you could do some quick entries in tags and/or in the
Master Place List=>Realign/Edit Screen and use the Search and Replace
feature to expand the quick entry as you wish. For example, the quick
entry might be that the Detail (just pick a location field) field would be
entered with a specific set of characters ("qwerty" or "qzx" or whatever)
which would be used in the Search part and the Replace part would include
the desired entries for that and other location fields.

Hope this helps -
