You should be able to find scripts on the wiki that give you the basic
elements for this.
OTOH, if you simply copy a frame (or group) on a page, then go to as
many pages as you like and paste, it will be placed at exactly the same
coordinates it had on the original page.
Also, sometimes copying entire pages might make more sense, in which
case you can do the operation in bulk.
