Feature Idea: Hide some of the top file properties #22

Thanks for this package, it is very helpful especially for beginners like me, getting something like that to work based on snippets found on the web would take me a long time for a substract of the features !

I was wondering if it could be possible to extend the functionality to hide some properties set on top of files set with the #+ prefix. Maybe the user could set the properties to hide on the whitelist/blacklist basis the same you already made it work for drawers.

Some of those properties are useful when visible like #+filetags of course, but others can be a real visual clutter. I personally have some org-roam-templates set up based on the type of project I am starting and some get their own TODO keywords which can make up quite a few lines that I do not need to see.

Thank you in advance for considering.

I am closing the issue because as I am learning more about org-mode, I do not have files cluttered by in-buffer keywords anymore, and I am starting to think that hiding them would go against their original design idea. Not completely sure about that. Thanks again for this very helpful plugin anyway.
