As far as I know, there isn't a way to put one item on two different pages. This is a pain in the ass if you're branching, and want a character to get some sort of weapon on both paths. You have to create an entirely new item, it would be easier if there was a way to put one item on two different pages, similar to making one item do two different things during a storygame.

Agreed. Making a replica of the same item for different paths is dumb.

Make it the same page, with different text depending on the path.

If you make ot the same page, then that's not branching and both "paths" will lead to the same place, even if the text is different.

Use the same page in the editor, move the player there from whatever paths they're on whenever you need to, but put in different text depending on where they come from.

Or whatever item state stuff they're talking about below. I dislike actual inventory items anyway so I've never really messed with them much.

You mean you can change the text a page just depending on the path? Or am I reading that wrong?

Just have the page text controlled by a variable that gets set differently when coming from different links.

You can always force the item into the inventory with $ITEMSTATE.

However, to build upon your suggestion, there actually is a variable that seems like it should deal with this matter ($ITEMPAGEID) but has been wholly useless in my experience, so maybe there could be an update to its function to allow an item's default page to be changed through scripting?

Just use $ITEMSTATE like Brad suggests.
