A similar concept exist under projectWise manage portfolio for rendition document (PDF).
Documet Set in the current state is more oriented into a manual operation, but could be integrate in a way, the Document Set will face the end user and as user add elements under this item, they will take the same doc number.

Here a nother example illutrating the oncept of Item
We are facing issue where for a same documet code, we need to associate mulitple excel sheet, each having a specific:
one that list Requirement, specification
One that came from Independant reviewer
One that came from client
etc....
The idea is that OOTB ProjectWise will allow to centralize all the information relate to a part number/Document number
