How to split Stop orders with quantity>1

Suppose a simple Trade Window setup with
- Main: Market order, quantity 1
- Targets: Stop: Stop, quantity 1

When in the Main tab I now select a different Order Quantity Button than 1 and I submit the order, the attached Stop order will have the same, higher quantity.

What I want to have is Stop orders that I can move individually, independently.
E.g. I submit a market order of 3, and then have 3 separate stop orders that I can move around individually.

Is there any way to achieve this with some settings?

I know that I could create separate configuration profiles for each quantity, each with the required number of Stop orders. But this is not a good solution for me, because I have many stored configurations and the selection process takes too long, So, I would rather just click an Order Quantity Button.

No there is no other solution other than using Trade Window Configurations:

Also you can add control bar buttons and Keyboard Shortcuts to access those:
