Description
Your idea
Duplicate unison notes when exploding
Problem to be solved
Often, divisi parts written on a single staff have some notes in unison, and just show the divisi in a second voice. When exploding, only the actual voice 2 notes go to the destination staff. I would like to see either a feature added, or a plugin, that would duplicate those unison notes so that a full line would be generated.
There is a plug-in (CleanScore) which will, among other things, remove duplicate notes. I am asking for a reverse of this function!
Note: There is a plugin for Finale (RIP), JW Staff Polyphony, which offers the option to treat single notes as unison.

Research direction
Start by locating the exploding operation in MuseScore and reviewing how it handles notes in a second voice. Compare the requested behavior with the CleanScore plugin and Finale's JW Staff Polyphony option mentioned in the issue. Done means exploding a divisi passage duplicates unison notes so each destination staff contains a full line.
