When a new notebook is created, it gets the name Untitled-xx, where xx
is a number. Is there a way to create a new notebook programmatically
and avoid incrementing this number?
CreateDocument[{}, WindowTitle -> "something"] increments it, even
though a name is explicitly set.
Alternatively, is there a way to access this counter, and decrement it?
Motivation: I was looking for a way to rasterize the selection in the
notebook from a palette button. My current solution involves creating a
new notebook, and copying the selection to it. Please see here:

I'd prefer not ending up with Untitled-bignumber just because I use this
many times.
