Methods of Cut/Insert time during sustains

Question

I can recall in the now defunct sequencer Studio Vision (and I think this may also apply in DP), when you cut or inserted time in the timeline--globally in the arrange window--any sustained notes (such as pads) occuring at the point of the operation would automatically lengthen or shorten in a corresponding manner to the cut or insert time operation. It was marvelously convenient and quick.
Because Logic is operating only on encapsulated regions in the arrange window, it makes no such adjustments to the durations of the notes within and I find that every time I do some kind of global operation like this, I have to spend some time to readjust sustained notes on all affected tracks so they are no longer either too long or too short by the amount of time of the cut or insert. This is not such an issue with beats, drums, and so on, but it's a big deal with pads, strings, piano with sustain pedals, and so on.
Since using Logic for 15 years, I'm not particularly hopeful that I'll suddenly find a new way of dealing with this problem, and have just gotten used to this extra step. But I'm certainly open to any brilliant new workarounds anyone might have that I haven't thought of or discovered.
Thanks.

Transform templates might be a little quicker, although probably not, because I can usually do nudge duration key commands pretty fast which are also set in these standard increments. If you select a bunch of regions and can do one operation, that would be faster, but I don't see how you could easily just affect those notes that needed adjusting without changing all or most of the others. Then all the notes inside would be affected by a duration transform, so you're still faced with manually selecting only those notes that have been adversely affected by the operation (in each region separately) and readjusting them. I don't mind too much if it's just a track or two, but it can get to be a hassle when dealing with dozens of tracks.
If the music was working as is, but you just wanted to lengthen or shorten some part of it, there isn't any need to have a unique circumstance for each patch in the sense that if I cut a 1/4 note out of a sustain from a global cut time command, then everything just needs to have a duration changed by the same 1/4 note amount over the cut or insert, and the music will sound exactly the same except that it will be shorter in one spot by 1/4 note. I deal with this situation all the time in film scoring.
What is relevant here is the connections between the notes and how much overlap (or lack thereof) there is, and that musical relationship remaining constant.
Imagine you do a mockup of a multitrack string piece which has a lot of long sustained notes and legato phrases. And you just want to take a quarter note out of the middle of the piece. What do you do?
You find the spot.
Do a global cut time. Causing the regions to separate and move.
You "merge regions" for all the tracks in question because they are now separated.
Now you can clearly see the notes over that section are a 1/4 note too long in duration and will overlap with the next notes.
So you go through every track and manually shorten them by 1/4 note.
What if Logic just did this step automatically?
As I said, I did not have to do that in SV or DP, or you could think of it somewhat like taking a razor blade to a piece of analog tape (albeit without editing glitches). Logic does this with audio tracks-yes--but not with MIDI tracks.
When doing global cut/insert time commands, Logic at the moment cares only about the movement of Larger chunks of data (regions). It does not look internally at the effects of these operations so it only adjusts start times of MIDI events, but not durations. Music consists of both. This is what I'd like to see changed, or at least offered as an alternative mode. Ideally, MIDI regions would never actually be cut in this mode, but rather the notes adjusted internally and the regions in the arrangement simply resized/moved respectively to reflect the time inserted or cut from the global timeline.
