Angular $resource - attach a generic .finally function to a method - angularjs

Question

I have a generic restful resource with angular's $resource. On any save method, I also want to set a message and boolean on whatever scope I'm in, and set a timeout for that message. So anywhere in my code where I call .save/.$save, I then attach a .finally onto it (below).
Rather than putting the same .finally onto every save I call, I'm wondering if I can just write a finally onto the actual resource itself, and have this be a generic finally for my save function.
var resource = $resource(
pageListPath,
{},
{
query: {method:'GET', isArray:true},
get: {method:'GET', url: pageDetailPath, params:{id:'#id'}, cache:true},
save: {method:'PUT', url: pageSavePath, params:{id:'#id'}},
delete: {method:'DELETE', url: pageDetailPath, params:{id:'#id'}}
}
);
return resource;
.finally(function() {
$scope.loading = false;
$timeout(function() {
$scope.message = false;
}, 2500);
});
Ideally something like
save: {
method:'PUT',
url:pageSavePath,
params:{id:'#id'},
finally:function() { doStuff() }}
is what I'm looking for. Is this possible?

I ended up writing another service to encapsulate this one, providing generic functionality for certain responses.
The API service:
pageServices.factory('PageAPI',
['$resource',
function($resource,
var resource = $resource(
pageListPath,
{},
{
query: {
method:'GET',
isArray:true
},
get: {
method:'GET',
url: pageDetailPath,
params:{ id:'#id' }
},
...,
...,
}
);
return resource;
}]
);
pageServices.factory('Page', ['PageAPI',
function(PageAPI) {
var service = {
'getPages': function() {
return PageAPI.query(function(response) {
// Do stuff with success
}, function(err) {
// Handle error
}).$promise.finally(function() {
// Generic finally handler
}
},
...,
...,
}
return service
}
])
