There are a number of ways to do this. Native to Keyboard Maestro are:

Prompt For User Input [1] is the easiest method and allows you to build a form fully within the KM's GUI.

Custom HTML Prompt [2] lets you make a full HTML/CSS/JS form. I have never had need of this, but in principle you can leverage any web browser tools such as jQuery and Bootstrap to make a complex form.

Check out the KM forums for examples. KM also allows you to fully integrate AppleScript and shell scripts, so you could do all sorts of other crazy workflows.

Thanks to you (and everyone else) for the clarification. That's my single biggest need from a TextExpander replacement.
