I should be able to define a Thing Property that allows me to specify the creation of a *new* Thing, instantly

(Incomplete Feature, To be Fixed , Priority: Critical, Test Status: No automated tests yet , Reported By Bad Link: Thing 3y285jl not found, )
Summary: This is very akin to the old "Create New..." feature in the old UI, which never got reimplemented in the new one.
As a first draft, don't get too fancy about it -- just create the Thing, and don't worry about the popup. We can add the popup later.
