I think we missed porting this feature to v2. We currently only look at JS files. Ideally we support both markdown and JS files for the pages plugin.

Is there a way around this? I am trying to replicate BoTorch's setup with Sphinx API docs. This is a requirement for doing that.

If those pages are entirely standalone, you could add them to the static folder and serve them as static files.
