Set multiple templates per post

1. Yes it is. But no by default.

   But it’s pretty easy to do it yourself.

   You can do it in 2 ways:

   1. In single.php template file

   Just add if statement and use get_template_part function to load selected template.

   So your single.php file could look like this:

   <?php
   if ( isset($_GET['template']) ) {
       switch ($_GET['template']) {
           case 'a':
               get_template_part('single-post-template-a');
               break;
           ...        
       }
   } else {
       get_template_part('single-post-template-default');
   }
   

   2. Using single_template hook.

   function get_custom_post_type_template($single_template) {
        global $post;
   
        if ($post->post_type == 'post' && isset($_GET['template']) ) {
             switch ( $_GET['template'] ) {
                  case 'a':
                      return locate_template( array('/single-post-template-a.php') );
                      break;
                  ...
             }
        }
        return $single_template;
   }
   add_filter( 'single_template', 'get_custom_post_type_template' );
