Actions Retains Their Previous Action Slot

Some project still requires me to separate animations by their own actions. And every time I switch actions the I then need to select the action slot, I'm wondering if it would be possible for blender to remember the previous action slot corresponding to the action.

blender will automatically assign a slot if it matches the name of the previous slot.

so Action.001->Dude will work with Action.002->Dude

I think i have seen somewhere that Blender tries to automatically load the slot by name correspondence with its owner. E.G. the armature object name if it's bone animations, the material name for shader nodes animations, so on.
