The best Option really would be, if we had the trigger "Show Base Layer".

Nevertheless, I think I have another workaround:

TLDR: Instead of copying the base layer, I added an empty layer with the trigger "Hide this layer" as soon as the timeline starts. Then you can call this layer as if it were the base layer.

 

I have a short history of 10 epochs. The Navigation is done by a drawer. So each story in on a layer and every layer is displayed depending on the value of the drawer. The base layer should be 0. So I added an 11th layer. And whenever the drawer gets the value 0 I show layer 11, which is immediately closed.

    That's what I do too. I create a blank "close" layer and call it to hide any open layers before hiding the close layer itself, which then shows the baselayer again.
