If I'm correctly understanding what you're after, this is possible. Try the following in the perspective:

Collapse all the context headers to hide the actions.

Select Perspectives -> Show Perspectives from the menu bar.

Select the perspective in question in the sidebar of the Perspectives window.

Make sure the "Restore: Expansion" box is checked, then close the Perspectives window.

Select Perspectives -> Save Window As -> <Name of this Perspective> from the menu bar.

Does that do what you're looking for?
