Save the visibility state of layers?

When designing layouts for a web site with a lot of different pages, I like to keep everything in one psd document, so that all the fixed graphics stay where they belong. Toggling the visibility of various layers to "change between pages" becomes quite a task, when there’s lots of material.

So, what I’m after is a possibility to name and save the current state of visibility of all the layers in the psd document. In other words, I could have a "visibility state" called "main page", for example, which means I have all the relevant layers visible: "main page title", "main page header", "main page menu", "main page content" etc., and the rest of the layers would be invisible. Then I could have another saved state called "news page", which means all "news"-related layers would be visible and the rest invisible.

Is there any possibility to do this in Photoshop? If not, I’d really appreciate such option!

You can make a Snapshot in the History palette for each visibility state.

EDIT: The snapshots will not survive closing the document however.
