Hi David Given your requirements, by far the simplest and least invasive approach for an outside process to modify the TW user interface would be via injecting a stylesheet that hides certain screen elements.
The hack you're suggesting with modifying the behaviour of the filter mechanism might well run into problems. Bear in mind that the filter mechanism isn't just used to generate the user interface. For example, the sync and saver mechanisms use filters to determine how to treat changed tiddlers. So, I'd be inclined to explore whether we can (easily) extend the control panel to add enough CSS classes that you can target the tabs that you want to hide.
