Source PDF Metadata From Layout Metadata

I am using ArcGIS Pro 3.5.2 and I've recently started looking what ArcGIS Pro offers for exporting PDFs with accessibility metadata. For the "Accessibility" tab for the "Export Layout" tool with PDFs, I noticed that if I enter information in for the accessibility inputs in one project that it carries over what I input into other projects.

Here is an example where the metadata parameters that were prefilled from another project.

As an Idea: Instead of pre-filling the "PDF Metadata" parameters with previous filled information, I'd like it to be sourced from the Layout Properties Metadata.

Title: Use Title from layout properties
Language: Add a language metadata field to Layout properties
Subject: Use Summary or add a Subject field to Layout properties
Author: Use Credits from Layout properties or add an Author field to Layout properties
Keywords: Use Tags from Layout properties or add a Keyword field to Layout properties

We are just getting into this as well. If there was a way to insert either dynamic tags or otherwise include values from specific fields from tables into Titles, Descriptions, etc., that would be really helpful.
