In Eclipse, can you have different sets of open files for different perspectives?

I'm using STM32CubeIDE, an eclipse-based IDE for embedded development. When I start a debug session it switches to the Debug perspective. During the debug session, various extra source files typically get opened in the editor when I pause execution at random times and the currently executed line is deep within some vendor library file. Then I end the debug session and it switches to the normal C/C++ perspective, however all those uninteresting library files that were opened in the debug session are left open. This is annoying, I find myself routinely de-cluttering the editor window by manually closing 10 to 20 uninteresting files that were opened by the IDE during debugging.

So, is there a way for perspectives to preserve their own set of open files (possibly using an add-on extension)? or perhaps you could think of another Eclipse feature that will help with this annoyance? I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds this inconvenient.

Thanks!
