How do I use my edit a thing page as a create a thing page?

My edit forms and create forms are extremely similar, but I can’t seem to figure out how to pass the thing into the page if one exists, or pass the parent thing into the page if a thing doesn’t exist yet. It seems that a page can only have one content type, and so cannot accept either a thing or a thing’s parent. Even if I could pass the parent into the page, I would assume that the defaults on the form fields would then be broken, since the thing does not exist yet. What should I do in this situation? Thank you in advance for your help!
