Multiple master pages applied at compile-time

It's possible to apply a single master page to all topics at compile-time, but what I'd really like to do is apply different master pages to different topics at compile-time. For example, a master page for the home page and others for different sections. I know I can apply different master pages at topic-level, but I don't want see the headers and footers in the topics when I'm authoring. Alternatively, is it possible to hide the header and footers in the topic pane?

Thanks

Jonathan

You can approximate this behaviour with scripting. I've create scripts before where just before compile, a master page is automatically applied to topics (in that case based on the folder) and the master page was reset after generation. Send me an email if you're interested and we'll see what we can set up.
