Would not it be better to use data module rather then creating a bogus
pages to keep together bunch of paragraphs that you might want to
include in some other random pages?
When you define data type in the data module, you can also define the
dialog with whatever custom fields you want and you don't need to have
any templates.
So later when you want to use such a chunk of content stored in the data
module, all you do is create a paragraph with only one control - link
(or uuidLink) where user can select the chunk from the data module they
want and the paragraph template just fetches the content and displays
it. Since you have a path (or uuid) to the content all you need to do
when retrieving it is not to forget to specify also repository "data".
