I can offer how the InDesign user interface works (not that there is any reason to copy their design). It's been a long time since I actually used InDesign for a project but, if I recall correctly, it was a feature of the "story." When you selected it you could choose the text you wanted before the #, e.g., "Continued on page" or "Go to page" or whatever. When finished the text and # appeared within the frames at the very end, right justified. The text reflowed within the frames so the last line moved to the next frame to make room for the # and text. Scribus doesn't treat the story as an object that can have features, so perhaps it would make more sense to make it a property of the frame.
