Yes, it is possible to use T4 templates hosted in a standalone application. <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb126461.aspx" rel="nofollow">TextTransform.exe</a> is an example of such an application. Unfortunately, it doesn't provide a built-in mechanism for passing parameter values. You could pass parameters via an external (XML?) file referenced in the template itself. Otherwise, you could build a custom T4 <a href="http://www.olegsych.com/2008/05/t4-architecture/" rel="nofollow">Host</a> which could provide this capability similar to how GAT host does it with the arguments dictionary.
