See {{include}} macro

Rules like this are not enforced but you can override the page creation and
deletion
templates and add checks.

You could auto generate {{include}} macros using
velocity/groovy/python/ruby/php code
which queries the database.

Links generated by a script which runs a query. See snippets in code.xwiki.org

If links are auto-generated then the code which makes them could detect export
action and switch to using external links (http://yoursite...)

Have you looked at XWiki.AllDocs? Is that what you're looking for?

Yes, some of the requirements will require some scripting but the X in XWiki
stands for eXtensable.
