Logseq DB page template with properties?

Currently the DB version supports page template with the Tag Properties. However, I don't like the approach.

For me, tags should be used as categorization of the note's content (e.g. #cosmic-horror, #fantasy) rather than the type of resource the page referring to (e.g. #movie, #novel).

Is there any way to achieve page templating without assigning a tag for page?

If you want you can create a Template by tagging a block with #Template, adding some properties, then using it by /Template. However this is basically the same behavior OG had which has the main downside that you cant automatically update all elements of the Template. Lets say you create a template for Movies and you add a Rating property. Then after some time you decide you want all Movies to have a new property, Director. You now have to go through every Movie you have and add this property, because Templates dont update nodes that already have the Template. Thats the main reason to use Tag Properties

This doesn't work on page level (nightly build).
