Okay, why not use Perl for this in your handler (or in a plugin)
Your data structure looks like:
push @features, { feature_code => 'ad',.....
If you changed it to
%features = ( 'ad' => { feature_code => 'ad',..... },
'be' => { feature_code => 'be',..... },
with
%features = map { $_->{feature_code} => $_ } @features;
Then you'd be able to look things up by the feature_code and check for
it's existence (infact, truth would do in this situation)

If you really want to do it in template space, does the Template Toolkit's
"exists" virtual method help out here?
defined, exists
Returns a true or false value if an item in the hash denoted by the key
passed as an argument is defined or exists, respectively.
[% hash.defined('somekey') ? 'yes' : 'no' %]
[% hash.exists('somekey') ? 'yes' : 'no' %]
(This was only introduced in 2.06e, so you might have missed its - if
you pardon the terrible pun - existance)
