Alternative Views of Subpages

Is there a way for admin to selectively list subpages of a page by their template type? The subpages view seems to have three sections: visible, hidden and archived. It would be convenient for us to see a section with only subpages of the type 'link-list'. Or any other way of subsetting them.

Building views of custom modules is pretty flexible, but building alternate views of  bigtree_pages is not something I have encountered. Any ideas?

Best,

Re: Alternative Views of Subpages

You could technically build a module that has a view that is fed by bigtree_pages. By default, BigTree strips out the bigtree_ tables when showing the dropdown of tables to pick from but you can modify the bigtree_module_views row to stick bigtree_pages into there. You could then add a filter function to the view that would strip out anything that doesn't have the template you want.
