If you want to do this, you need to explicitly add a new file to the project. 
The file descriptor describes 1 file with associated .lfm file, no more.

So if you want to create a second file, you must add it from your code.
You can use the lazarus project interface for it:
lazideintf.pas, TLazIDEInterface.DoNewFile or DoNewEditorFile.

But please make this optional. I suspect that for most cases you will not
need the HTML file, and if you do, I think the html file will already exist,
since it will have been supplied by the web-designer.

So I would introduce 'New webform' and 'New webform with associated HTML'.
