create-page link which can be traced back

Describe the feature you'd like

We want to preprint labels for people to document their projects around our makespace. The label comes in two parts: introductions and the sticky label to place on the project for reference. The instructions should contain a link (QR-code) that brings up a create-page in a chapter to start a project documentation page. The sticky label should have a corresponding link (QR-code) for other to scan and visit the documentation page.

I could be the same url in both cases, where the page is created if it does not exist and otherwise is viewed.

Related is #3217, because many users will scan the initial (create-page) QR-code before logging in.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

Pregenerated links for creating and viewing pages, that can be passed on physical media.

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

Maybe through a custom website that leverages the bookstack API? Not sure.

Alternatively we pre-create 100 empty pages and use regular permalinks, but it will be tedious keep an overview of empty/unused pages vs relevant ones.
