Is there a way to disable a single model viewer (rather than Caps-Lock for all)?

Working on an animation in a subcomp, I often need to see how he's going to sit in his model of the parent, so I open a second spectator alongside.

Works fine, but if I do something tedious and complex, it would be nice to be able to disable the second spectator that AE does not continue to try to make the parent model whenever I've finished interacting with something.

AE did a good job of maintaining interactivity in titting on with stuff, but the second spectator slow down things a bit (not to mention the Visual introduction of noise/distraction because it shows his bar rendered etc.). I could simply close the Viewer, but then I have to open it up again a few minutes later.

Shift lock disables all. I want to just disable an individual Viewer.

If it's possible, I can end up having more than two viewers open - my projects end up with huge hierarchies of comps, and it would be nice sometimes to be able to have a certain number of viewers I could turn on and off individually as needed. I'm not short of screen real estate and that would mean that I always know where to look (rather than having several possible sources to viewers)

[EDIT to add:] Man, what would be good is if it worked the same way as the zoom control panel - press the tilde key and any component is under the mouse cursor is zoomed. Having an order of keys 'turn off the viewer under the mouse cursor' would be super quick to use...

Identical to your other post: No.
