I can only see one way to do this, and it's not simple. You'd have to write a custom tag that would create a page-scoped variable which is a single map variable that has been merged from the following maps, in order: application, session, request, and page. Then you could reference your dotted variable in quotes around array brackets, and it will essentially "search" the scopes in order.
