My mechanical cad demo has a similiar feature: 5 buttons that will store 
views:
- middle click on one of them stores your current view
- left click makes the stored view active
You have to remember what was where, but a thumbnail of the whole board 
with a red frame
in it can be realized. I implemented this, because mechanical 
constructions sometimes have
2 small areas of interest with long parallel lines connecting them - but 
I find it generally handy.
