Describe the feature you'd like

Apart from 'New Page' and 'New Chapter,' I would like to propose 'Add a Link Chapter.' Some books need to reference the same content, but this may involve a chapter with multiple pages rather than just a single page.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

If creating a similar book with just a few different chapters, most of the chapters can link to the core one.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Yes, create the chapter and link to each page. All titles need to retype.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

1 to 5 years

Thanks for the request @racson, but I'm going to close this off as I feel the fundamental request is already covered by existing issue #1360.
