Feature request: open a notebook without running kernel

We are working with notebooks which use PySpark kernel. Very often we need just to look inside the notebook, but we don't need to run it. But if I click on the notebook, it starts a kernel as well, but PySpark kernel is very heavy and it consumes resources: after waiting for several minutes until the notebook starts, I am doing "shutdown kernel".

It would be very fine if there was a button in the notebook list "View without running kernel".
