An executable file which launching it opens Stellarium with desired location, time, sky view and sky settings. (Like Save As option in Starry Night software...)

You can write a script (or scripts) with settings, what you want to see in Stellarium and run them (via shortcuts within planetarium or via double-click on the script on Windows).

Hint: by default the script startup.ssc is run at startup of planetarium.

You can also store view and rename config.ini to have several variants, then start Stellarium using some particular config_Special.ini:

stellarium --config-file myConfig.ini

Or even use a separate user data directory (instead of AppData\Roaming\Stellarium):

stellarium --user-dir e:\Stellarium\specialUserData
