Rotate View Tool - invokable with rotation value by Action

I'm using the Rotate View tool at a specific rotation value to facilitate painting horizontal strokes.

Although I can preview what's happening in normal orientation by tearing off the Navigator panel and enlarging it (thanks for that flexibility!), I also need to switch back and forth between orientations frequently, as some areas need to be worked differently.

There has long been an easy reset (double-click the tool), and there is also a "Reset View" Button (thanks for that too!).

But I am disappointed that I cannot make an action for Rotate View to my chosen angle.

And per Jazz-y's answer to this post (reset view via scripting ), I understand that even scripting won't work, without conforming all documents.

So I'd really appreciate it if Adobe would consider adding Action support, including the rotation value, to this tool.

If not, I could live with Jazz-y's solution, moving all my reference docs to another app so they stay upright--but that script is for resetting to rotation 0. If anyone has such a script for resetting to a particular rotation angle, I'd be grateful.
