I think the IDL_Savefile class should be able to do what you want, but
the "everything else" needs to be enumerated i.e. regular variables
and common blocks should be sufficient:

IDL> save, /all, filename='all.sav'
IDL> exit
~$ idl
IDL> savfile = obj_new('idl_savefile', filename='all.sav')
IDL> savfile->restore, savfile->names(), /verbose ; regular
variables
IDL> savfile->restore, savfile->names(/common_block), /common, /
verbose ; common blocks
IDL> obj_destroy, savfile
