Is possible to hide temporarily the selected element, similarly to deleting it or moving it to another level and turning such level off, but without actually doing any of that. I just want to perform operations on elements one by one (for example, consecutively name groups or oprhan cells), then hide them as I go so I don't operate on them twice. Then at the end just unhide/show them (maybe a dialog listing all hidden elements and removing them from that list).
I couldn't find such feature, not idea if is available.
Have you tried Display sets?

This would be the answer. Begin the process with all of the elements in question in the displayset, then remove them from the display set as you work through them. If you work through more than one view window, you could probably add elements from one view (showing everything) to the displayset which would then show in the view showing the displayset - handy if you forgot some elements in your initial displayset.
That did it. It can be done with the Name Group utility (Home > Groups > Add To Graphic Group > click on either Create New Named Group with the + icon or click the 3 dots to open the dialog), but it's more cumbersome.
The way I recommend it is not using Named Group. Instead follow these steps:

Notes:
So each element can be in only one of 3 states (regarding displayset):
