It appears that through the developer tab >> templates menu, I can do something rudimentary but essential equivalent to the template reset option.
This doesn't yet apply to the blanket master/sub document reset automation, just reseting sub documents, but I plan to write a piece of code to ensure that documents in a specific project share the same document template at all times.
When finished, and depending on the broadness/usefulness of this program/code I will include it here.
