Yes Volume pages can be used elsewhere, I use one in my Personabar mod. BUT...

Volume Pages automatically reposition elements to fit when they are resized by script or the user. They don't by themselves resize to their contents like the Hotkeys page does. Hotkeys, bags, examine windows, are all hard-coded to size based on their content.

Basically, the Group window already does what a Volume page would get you, auto-wraps the sub-pages if they don't fit inside the window width without resizing the window. Using a VolumePage would allow you to control how it wraps/fills.

However, there are ways to force a parent page to match the size of a VolumePage after the user is done resizing.
