If you don't have a door/window builder add-on then maybe Library Part Maker might help.
I have not used it myself but my understanding is you create a custom opening from slabs (morphs?), but this standardises some of the display settings with other windows and doors.

The problem with custom objects is that they are not sketch friendly. It's not a strategic way to go when the sketching architects need to go to some of the more cad tech skilled people for a normal dw setup. GS need to rethink dw. It has been great (even magnificient

I never tried this in that situation, but I have been looking for the opportunity: curtain wall tool can do anything. Whatever frame with whatever infill and openings.
So you could place a curtain wall on an empty opening. Empty opening with whatever ID that gets ignored by schedule. And you can make a schedule list anything, like 'all doors excluding those with this ID' + 'all curtain wall objects with ID containing whatever'. Both doors and curtain walls would get assigned a common set of properties, which are what you would list in schedules. Properties sound mysterious but it is really simple.
It is a dirty workaround, but quite powerful dirty workaround. If it does work, which I think it must.
I wish we had 'curtain wall object' windows, so that they move together with walls etc.
Regarding hiding glazing line in plans, I can't think of anything except some other dirty workaround with pens and pen sets.
