Is there a way to automatically create an exploded model view?

What I mean is adding a Model View automatically when I create a new Explosion.

What I currently do is right click Model Views (on the Part Navigator) and then Add View, and rename that Explosion X, X being a number. Sometimes I have more than 1 exploded view.

The problem is that most times, I forget to add the second (or third) model view, and start creating a second or third explosion, overriding the first explosion.

It's maybe a stupid mistake, but if there was a way to automatically create the view when I create the explosion it stop me from making these stupid mistakes.

Thanks and regards,

Not quite the answer your looking for but you could record a macro to prompt you for the view name and explosion. Then run the macro, You can add the macro to a custom toolbar and icon to make it very quick and wasy to use.
