Thank you Wolfgang for your answer.

So, yes the figures/tables should appear before the text on a even (left 
side) page while the text would appear only on odd (right side) pages. 
The left page should be empty when there are no figures/tables for the 
following right page, and the float doesn't have to appear strictly at 
the same vertical position as the reference, but as possible only. 
Specially beacause, it may have several references in only one paragraph 
for exemple on the right page, and so the figure should appear in the 
right order on the left page, but couldn't be exactly at the same 
height. Also, if there are too many references in on right page, the 
figures which can't fit the left page should go on the top od the next 
left page...

It's possible that my answer change the proposition you made at the end 
of your message. Nevertherless, there is some thing in your last 
paragrph which is not clear for me : " Afterwards you split each page in 
half and create two separate pages from one single page which can be 
done with a loop (can be done theoretically with the imposition 
mechanism but a separate document is easier)."

Thank you!

Nicolas
