Hugo New Content

Can I bypass ‘hugo new content’?

I use VS Code as my IDE of choice. Often, when starting a new page (or post) for Hugo, I would like to copy a current page and modify the copy rather than starting from an empty new page. I can do that easily from within the IDE without having to access a command line to issue a command like hugo new folder/folder2/folder3/filename.md

Why can’t I just create a .md file using VS in any subfolder of the content folder?
