Turn off hot end when no longer in use

Is there a setting in PrusaSlicer to turn off a tool/hot end, or set the active or standby temperature to zero, when it is no longer used for the rest of the print?

Specifically, let's say I have an 8 hr print that uses one tool for PLA and another tool that uses PETG as a separation layer between support and printed part. The separation layer is printed within the first 30 minutes but since the print is 8 hrs, the tool sits there (granted, at standby temperature) for 7.5 hrs doing nothing before the print is done and the tool heaters are turned off.

If this doesn't exist already, maybe an option in Print settings > Multiple extruders to set the temperature of a tool once it is no longer used in the print.

I'm using RepRapFirmware, so I appreciate this may already be a feature/handled differently on Prusa machines, but could apply to all firmwares.
