Relationship explorer - allow "focus artifact" to be switched without having to recreate the whole canvas

Using relationship explorer I can start from e.g. a specific business term, and then include related terms, primary category etc.  It takes a good amount of effort to click through, decide on the layout etc.

Now afterwards, I would like to reproduce the same for another business term.  And another.  I would like to view/store similar graphs for 20+ business terms.

As far as I know, there is no way now to do this.  

You should offer a way to "productionize" the RE layouts (to the extent they can be - I realize there are limits what can be made generic).
