Switch between layouts in Sublime Text 3

I'm working in a project with lots of files and switching between different tasks. And having a lot of files open at once clog the tabs in the panes (and my brain). So therefore I would like to be able to switch out all my panes/views much like switching workspace in Linux. And when I switch back it remembers the files/views/tabs.

In short: ability to toggle between this:

          Layout 1                              Layout 2
----------------------------          ----------------------------
|            |             |          |            |             |
| file a     | file a2     |          | file b     |  file b2    |
| (+3 tabs)  |             |          |            |             |
|            |             |          |            |             |
|            |             |          |            |             |
|            |-------------|          |            |             |
|            | file a3     |          |            |             |
|            |             |          |            |             |
----------------------------          ----------------------------

Does Sublime 3 has this functionality or is there a package that can help with this?

Here is detail explenation for layout creating in sublime text : example

My suggestion is to create those two layouts and put key shortcut for both.

Install chain of command plugin. Create key shortcut for mulitple commands :

1. set layout 2
2. move focus to group 1
3. open "file b" by name [plugin]
4. move focus to group 2
5. open "file b2" by name [plugin]

Do same thing for layout 1 scenario. Here is example how to create plugin for opening file by name how-to-open-file-using-only-keyboard-in-sublime-text . You need to modify some part of that plugin because it use input dialog.
