I was always curious about that as well. You can right click on the individual parts and create a drawing within the part studio.

There is if you click on a part in the instance list but there isn't a way to insert "all the parts" in one go.
The workaround for this is to create a composite part and make a drawing of that (if you want all the content of the part studio at once).
There's a handy featurescript called "composite selected" that can automatically add all the parts in a part studio (if you wanted to have a drawing that always included all the parts without having to manually adding them to a composite).

I believe there previously was exactly this option, directly from a right click on the part studio... but it was "taken out" to reduce confusion. I was in support of this decision, so I'll try to share some thoughts here.
I'll give one simple example - If you show a drawing of a whole part studio, what metadata would you link to (in the title block for example)? The Part studio doesn't have a part number, title, description... the individual parts do! Therefore all that information would be blank. This is logical and easy to follow why it would be the case when you have multiple parts in the part studio... but can be puzzling if you only have one part.
I definitely was guilty myself of accidentally creating a drawing of a whole part studio, rather than just the ONE part I had in the part studio... and then scratching my head as to why none of my metadata linked correctly.
I hope this helps clarify!
