Is it possible / what is a way to have the text in a template changed depending on what page you were on before?

Helping out on a wiki that has a lot of characters in a storyline and with custom info-boxes we link to the next / previous character. However some characters pop up multiple times in a story and have different next / previous links and some other values.

Is there a way to have

A. Let the content of the info-box based on the previous page (possible with a  pagename  link, that isn't a problem)

OR

B. have something like Tabber work. I personally can't get it to work since tabber doesn't like to work with template code parsing and I can't figure out how to "re-throw" the info the new template should get.

For Reference: here is part of the code we use in the infobox template. I know it isn't the best but it works for us.
