Dealing with hide/show in drawing

Probably everyone came across this issue. Once i hide a body/open body in a catpart i don't want this to disappear from a drawing view.
Usually we don't use multi bodies parts except complex sheet metal parts or machined parts where i have to show several stages of manufacturing process like first bend, second and so on. In this case i don't want to use assembly and manage representation. How to keep hidden body always in show state in a drawing during update? I don't want to isolate a view.

Any ideas will be appreciated.

you can link the view to only the bodies you want. So if you have 3 bodies, you can link the view to let say body.1
you can pla with show no show of body.2 or body.3 this will never ask for view update.

linking to a body i want to see will not prevent a view from disappearing if i will hide it in part design environment.
 
instead of using hide show can you use layers and filters? This should not affect drawing views.
