It would definitely make sense for filters and others with parameters but how to implement something easy to understand and use i have no idea.

Yes sub circuits or sub layouts make sense. What would be needed is a selector to select to which sub layout added objects will belong, default sub layouts would probably be sub sheets. Then they belong to a sub layout they could be selected and moved or replaced with a modified copy. I have made two circuits boards there I copied and reused same layout data the last months.

I think a selector to select sub layout would be rather simple to implement although I looked into file format and do not think it is possible to add the necessary information to objects or list of objects without a change of file format.

To calculate clearance from net maximum voltages and width from net or segment maximum current would be useful. A first step is to get values into pcb and then values or route style could be selected from these values then adding a connection.
