How to set Sitecore Droptree source for the item itself

Question

I want to set the droptree source for an element, so every time I create an instance of this template, I can select its children. Obviously, I cannot add the element identifier to the template, as it will be different for each instance of the template.

I tried $idin the vain hope that this might work, but it is not.

Is there any way to do this?
