   @iroddis instead why not just add a `run_date` property to DagRun, and make it available in template context?
   It seems to me this would provide the clarity you seek without having to add additional configuration or changes to scheduler.   
   Adding run date would make explicit the run date vs execution date distinction.  
   Adding run date would allow execution_date to be consistently defined (as opposed to sometimes meaning run date and other times meaning last-run-date).
   And in the same dag, while one task might want use "execution_date", for another task "run_date" might be more appropriate.
