I've had the same problem and requested a different solution-- before 
the Tracker was in place so I don't have a request reflecting this. I 
wanted something akin to multiple workspaces within a project which is 
not much more than a set of open files. In your case, I'd open a 
workspace for the special request, then flip back to my original 
workspace after the request is over. One advantage is that I could keep 
the temporary workspace available for a time before discarding it inc 
case a follow up call came in. The one other thing I'd like for the 
workspace is the ability to restrict a search to just the files open in 
a particular workspace.
