This would be the way I prefer, or include that same "widgetery" in the
layout properties. The "current" page could update based on the portion of
layout that is visible, as already happens for the grids panel.

I love the idea of having a list of available templates with some
thumbnails. But it won't fix the issue of not being trivial to see a pages
properties once te layout is created.
