Thanks Vincent,
I already created some client side code which creates a UID using a random number
generator and a Unix timestamp then pre-populates the modal box before it appears, so that
part of the code is already squared away...at this point it's a working solution, I
was just trying to figure a way to prevent my users from having to click create, then add
when they create a new page (e.g. Create the doc using only one click)...I'm gonna
give it a go with more JavaScript tomorrow I think.

You could also check this extension as a helper, I think it was made for a similar (if
not the same) use case:
