That is already the case, within the limits of the nginx configuration
inheritance model (which is approximately: inheritance is by replacement,
or not at all) and valid directive contexts.

Except that error_page take a uri, not a filename.

Yes, that is how it works already.

What you want is an alternative directive which is like error_page but
takes a filename.

Nothing to do with changing the inheritance model. And therefore
conceptually much simpler to get into the code base, if someone cares
enough to write it.
