Description
Right now the debugger dynamically checks the list of loaded modules, and whenever the input file is seen in the list, the binary view for that module is rebased and then added into the debugger binary view. However, this is not enough in several cases:
- The user wishes to add multiple binary views into the debugger binary view, e.g., a .exe and a DLL
- The user initially does not specify the input module, and later wishes to add a view into the debugger binary view
Note, we should also allow the user to configure whether the option should be repeated when the target is restarted.

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing debugger behavior that watches loaded modules and adds the input module's rebased binary view. Determine the entry point for manually adding multiple views, including a later-selected module, and where restart behavior can be configured. Done means users can add multiple views and choose whether each option repeats after a target restart.
