One could always hide them with a script. The bonding of dummy atoms would probably be annoying. I think that we should fix this by making the covalent bonding radius 0 so that they don't bond with anything.

Do we have that capability? Maybe ... I think so ... but the mechanism is probably not clean and it needs review.
