This is a larger task and we won’t manage to include such improvements in the next release (this release is already delayed, as we promised to make it available by the end of the last week).
Is it perhaps possible that a new extension that this release will add for switching to views will somehow address your needs: Multiple Material Switcher - #5 by jan ? You would need to use Hide in views functionality instead of the material picker, I’m not sure if this is feasible in your case.
