First step towards the goal

This:

[[User talk:{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}]]

will produce a link to the editor's talk page. I'm not sure how to put that into a template without it subst:ing straight into the template (and thus hard-coding a link to your own talk page in the template), but I believe there is a method for doing so. Someone at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) will know how to do this.
