Is it possible to pin a document class that does NOT have a template

Question

Hello, 
 I know that I can pin any templates so I can create a new document of a specific class quickly and easy. 
 But I want to pin a document class that DOES NOT have an associated template . Is this possible? 
 At least from what I can see it does not appear possible - but maybe I am wrong. 
 Thank you. 
 Patrick.

Via our API we have a method which can show a "prefilled metadata card". What this means at a practical level is that it can be provided with a set of properties (and files, optionally) which are already-selected. It would be possible to create a UI application that either adds a button to the task area on the left, or a separate dashboard, which allows the user to start that process. 
 However: that's not out of the box and it's rather fiddly work if you've not done it before. I also am not sure what the "next steps" would be for the user here; are you expecting them to then add files, or this this a non-document object?
