Custom Viewing options for Inactive Objects

Hi gang,

I'm constantly needing to have my objects I'm not working on have a different shading than the asset I'm working on.

For example, lets say on my characters face asset, i want to be in the 'solid shading' style but i want all other assets (torso, hair, accessories) to be wireframe shading (for example), or random color shading, or textured shading, whatever it is, you just need a different shading for inactive objects.

AFAIK, the only option we KIIIIINDA have is the 'local view'. That's not always helpful because sometime I want to at see the xray/wireframe of my background assets and not just hide everything.

I know Modo has a shading method like this. I really hope we can have an option to say 'background shading- wireframe' for example. Please someone tell me this exists and i'm not aware of it already or can we PLEASE have a shading option for assets we're not currently working on.
