I don't know of any feature like that, but maybe you can do the following in your script/files: \set lastquery 'your-query-here' so that you can do something like explain :lastquery; But if you are able to manipulate your scripts you can just insert the explain by hand on queries you are interested in, or use autoexplain for all the queries.
