You'll probably be faster using the locator then (Ctrl-k f, navigate to the right directory, enter the file name to create). (I'd even argue that this would be more efficient in the average case than using a dedicated wizard).

You'll have to force reparsing by touching some project file in such a case. I don't think it's that big of a deal, because if you want to make use of these things, you'll have to change some existing project file anyway.

You'll have to provide some concrete example here.
