Does this exist?

It's kinda like an optocoupler but only with fuses.
An input fuse and output fuse that's thermally coupled.
Or in other words...
A device that has two isolated fuses yet share the same heat.
When fuse A blows, it also blows fuse B or vice versa..

Since metal can't be used to couple the fuses together (isolation
wanted) maybe fuse A can ignite a non conducting dry chemical to burn
out fuse B.

Could you use a striker fuse? They have a shaft that pushes out when the
fuse blows, that shaft usually is used to activate a microswitch.
