i don't think that it's easy (or even possible) to add a good mechanism for doing what you're requesting.

but i plan to extend the multiple duplication tool, to create pages as needed.

it needs to be triggered, but it could be a good compromise...

There's two parts here if I understand correctly.
1) Use Automatic Text Frames (most of the issue is covered by this)
2) If you're after keeping paragraphs together entirely, this looks to be something that could go as a paragraph style setting.
