Tis a nice solution, I could see some form of spring loading so it snaps back up on its own after you release.
I've also seem "small parts" jigs where the cutting platform is raised a small amount on the cutoff side of the blade.
Set your stop, move the stock over to the stop and hold it down, release the stop and cut (like you have it). Except now the cutoff is riding on the raised platform (< 1/2 the width of the cutoff) and it tops off the platform and away from the blade.
