Hi Jon,
Unless I'm missing something, I don't see much benefit to having this. If
the data is on another page (whether it's a subpage or not), you can
already query its data in the same way that you would query a subobject's
(or internal object's) data. The only benefit I see for this is that it
would define a semantic linkage between the subpage and the main page.
Which could be useful; but on the other hand, if the subpage contains a
template, you could do that automatically via that template as well.
