You could try the following script. I created it more for practice than anything – however, it may also serve a practical use too!
It adds a "visual reset" mid-grey layer above all other layers in the stack, then removes it 3 seconds later. The previously selected layer and overall layer stack visibility should be restored without change.
Set a keyboard shortcut against the installed script for easy access. It has not been exhaustively tested, so use it with all due caution (I have added a single history step undo if the script doesn't play nice with your layer structure).
