Here is what I do: I have a different folder/directory for each of my different projects, then I start a new R session for each project that I am working on. If you start R with the folder/directory as the current working directory then the workspace for that project is loaded (and the script files in that directory show up when I want to load them). This means that I often have multiple copies of R running at the same time (which works fine), and switching between the projects just means switching which R window I am in. The workspace saving between sessions pretty much takes care of itself (but still keep the script files to recreate data if needed).
If you are using windows, then the website: http://research.stowers-institute.org/efg/R/TechNote/WindowsExplorerWorkingDirectory/index.htm shows a way to set up windows so that you can run R from a given folder using a right click. I also have the line: utils::setWindowTitle(getwd()) in my .Rprofile so that the working folder name shows up in the window title. Not exactly what you asked for, but it works well for me.
