Check http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruker:Stigmj/Nextpage-preview for a *very* quick hack just to show what I mean with "get a summary of the next articles at the bottom of current article (to simulate a book)". Mind you, this is not meant as anything more than show what I am thinking. If it's not clear, do tell...
Regarding [[WP:PERF]].. sure, but when I make lists like http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_over_verdens_stater_etter_befolkningsst%C...http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_over_verdens_stater_etter_befolkningsst%C3%B8rrelse/vedlikeholdI suddenly have to think about the user experience... ;)

Would it be possible to add some kind of feature or extension which

That shouldn't be hard to do at all.

Not clear what this means.
There has been some suggestions to add a transcluded Special:Prefixindex/{{PAGENAME}} to the stub-templates, but I have warned them off with a possible hit in uncacheable pages..
It would be cached perfectly fine. It just wouldn't update when new pages are created, until the cache expires or is purged. (Have you read [[WP:PERF]]?)
Adding some AJAX-functionality would also need some kind of uncacheable special-page output.
AJAX isn't relevant at all here.
