Duplicate Assembly instance "in place"

Hello,
I like to have each design iteration of a part that got prototyped visible in the assembly. That way I have let's say 4 versions of it and I can hide/show to compare any 2, any 3, or all of them at once in a very simple way. AFAIK this cannot be doen with Version Compare.
The way I do this in Onshape is whenever I'm about to modify, I make a duplicate of the instance and lock one to a previous version.
But I wonder if there's a way to simply duplicate it "in place" in one go.
If I do Cmd-C/Cmd-V, the new instance get's dropped randomly, then I need to create a constraint.. which takes time… sometimes snap mode does not work… etc
Ideally, I just want a duplicate, unmated, in-place, in 1 click ….
Kind regards,
Julian
