@gideon_waldner722 ,I think you wanted to create drawings for parts and assemblies automatically like in inventor. In inventor AutoDRAW addon can detect the parts and assemblies for which you have not created the drawings, and can help to create them using a template you define. It select your main assembly and relax while AutoDRAW runs through all the models in your design and creates the missing drawings for you.The drawing layout can be customized for assemblies and part drawings. It is a new function to generate a single sheet metal flat pattern drawing for CNC / cutting purposes.
You can raise improvement request for this type of Addon /App in Onshape.

Can you be more specific? It's not a term I am familiar with.

 I think you are referencing an Autodesk Inventor Addin/app/ macro. With an open assembly, it will examine the referenced parts and assemblies, and see if there are any missing drawings. If there are no drawings for references, it can be configured to then use a standard template to create the drawings,  add views, dimensioning etc. At present there is no comparative app for Onshape.
