Yes, it has come up before.

I tried this some time ago, it did not work for me. That paper is just too
slippery, toner does not stick good enough, it's not possible to handle it
without bits of an image falling off.

After reading more about it, it does seem rather delicate. Perhaps only the exact brand of paper he used works great, and the rest don't.
Still, I don't think I am going to try it.
I already get pretty nice results with the old magazine paper I've been using (except for large solid fills, but that is the printer's fault of course)
I had just never heard of using the baking paper before and thought I had (sort of) discovered some new and exciting type of paper! Oh, well.

I also tried this a long time ago and had the same problems with toner
falling off.
I'd say it's like everything else in toner transfer: very dependent on
brand of paper and brand of toner.

another very similar thing I have tried that did not work, was a base paper
of adhesive aluminium foil, from a building store. Same problem, toner just
falls off. But it seemed sooo good:)

[Homebrew_PCBs] screen emulsion and photoresist
2012-05-19 by Jeff Heiss
Someone mentioned recently they were going to perform experiments using
screen printing emulsion as photoresist. Are there any updates on the
discussion? Are the experiments still pending?

the emulsion is rubbery after exposure and does not tend to stick very well

Fine details were out of the question because it didn't adhere well enough
and the stretchy, flexible nature of the emulsion made it impossible to
preserve anything but the largest of features. It tended to peel off as it
softened under the flow of water.
The thing that makes the Riston-type photoresists so great is that they
stick extremely well to copper, are robust to start with, and become very
rigid where exposed and rinse off quickly where they are not.
