Possible to hide element temporarily without modifying any of its properties?

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.
