The idea of a real header, of course, is that the rest of the page
material flows naturally from page to page whilst the headers stay
where they should be. This makes complete sense if the headers are
substantially the same (except perhaps for systematic changes such as
page numbers), but it is difficult to see how it could make sense if
the headers were to differ page to page. If you need a different
Yes and no.
I can imagine a situation, for example, where perhaps a children's
book needs pictures at the top of the page - different for each page,
not directly related to the text, just to add a bit of decoration:
but they must be in the fixed position. (Same sort of comment for
foot or marginal decorations.) Which means a page break (per your
comment below) wouldn't be appropriate. You'd need to insert
explicitly on each page and anchor/wrap accordingly.
No idea if this is the sort of thing the OP is after. Whatever he's
trying to achieve and whatever the means, he's somehow going to need
to specify the material for each and every page. Perhaps if he'd say
what he's actually trying to achieve, it would help.
<ramble>Thinking about it, and possibly (probably?) veering off the
OP's needs, maybe it would be useful to be able to compute material
for insertion. One can already insert, say, a page number which will
differ depending on where the item is used. Perhaps if one could
compute, say, a filename for inclusion (from, eg page number, or
whatever other variables can be set), this would help at least the
above type of situation. Different material could then be
automatically included without repetitive insertions within

Some of this can be achieved by using fields. Insert|Fields|Other (Ctrl
F2) has some of these options. Maybe some of this could be adapted.
