Actually, there is. If you click on the toolbar button that says "Messages",
it will get a lock icon on it. This means messages are locked and won't be
sent normally. Then simply open your stack. Your stack won't get the
preOpenStack message sent so it won't trigger. Then, when you want messages
back on, click the toolbar button again and the lock disappears.
