Would be nice if I could have kind of a second class of roam nodes, where they will work as normal nodes for the backlinks buffer and such, but not show up in the node search and in org-roam-ui. Would be nice to show them in the ui if I wanted to while also being able to hide them from it, as a group. I prefer nodes as topics and not to be super fine grained.

Because for example, I take notes on videos, and for multiple videos on the same subject, I would like if I could link the relevant sections together from across the separate sections of notes, and have them show up in roam buffer when I pass by the headings.

Anyways it’s not a massive deal breaker for them to show up in search and ui, but I just find it clutters it.
