Questions about creating sub-pages in Docs

[Caffey]

I noticed that sometime in December or January there was a change the zoom docs interface where the primary way to create sub pages moved from the insert menu to the left-hand side that shows all of the pages.  While i think this is an improvement in terms of new users being able to understand what is happening with page permissions etc.  it makes it slower and harder for me in the way I use Zoom Docs. I would like for the insert menu to have a "link page" option where I can either 1)mention or embed an existing page OR 2)create a new sub-page based on a specific template. Alternatively if there was a way to script (automate) the process of creating a page and selecting a specific template (hopefully with awareness of certain environment variables in the system or parameters that I pass to it) this would give me and many others a powerful toolset within the Zoom platform. 
 
One example use case- I have "home" page for my IT leadership team on which I add links to each meeting agenda/meeting notes before, during, & after meetings.  I would like to be able to quickly create a sub-page with the permissions of the parent based on an established template and naming convention with as few clicks as possible.
