There is a resource for this. Unfortunatly it's in the resources and GG doesn't seem to care much for fixing the resource searching. Appearantly they think everyones plans make better resources and probably won't fix it even though people have asked and begged for them to do so.

Best advice I can give you is to spend a few hours manually browsing the resources till you find it. If you look at the collum on the right, you'll see a header called "Resources" click on that and it will take you to everyone's plans. Wasn't that helpful?

If you talking about a new view from the player camera you can add a new GameTSCtrl and rotate the view if you want to !

But if you talk about a view from another object i think the resource Gonzo talking about is the solution .
This one i think Click

To avoid seeing "plans" in your search perform an Advanced Resource Search. Steps are:
1 - Select "(more)" by the search button
2 - Select "Search the Resource Database"
3 - Select "Advanced"
4 - Check the "Code" Text box
5 - Check "Keywords"
6 - Enter your keyword. In this case I choice "Camera"

Along with the resource Billy ScE pointed out there is Flash Teams (3 view + teleport) that might help you out.

Advanced searches are nice because you can restrict the date or search on your favorate contributor (without keywords) and see what cool things they have given up!

Essentially what you want to do is restructure your PlayGui. Make the main control a ChunkedBitmapCtrl. This allows you to add several components to a single screen. Then you can add new GameTSCtrls to that Gui, as mentioned above.
You can then use the world editor to add more cameras, and set them to different angles, and have the different TSCtrls each using a different camera.
Kind of a quick and sloppy explanation, but hopefully it makes some sense. I'll check back to see if you got it to work. Good Luck!
