is it possible to hide a body within a CATPart with a rule?

i have multiple bodies within a CATPart body. the main one and a traveled one (paste as result with link and translations for the travel part of it).

there are multiple catparts in a product that i want to be able to link together with parameters to turn all the traveled ones on/off from the product level

discovered a work around for this.

create a body and add the traveled body.

use a Boolean parameter to control the activity

would still like to know if it is possible to hide or unhide the original body
 
We take a linked copy of Partbody, then apply a transform to the linked body in direction of travel to provide a visual of Mech Ejected.
Next we have a macro which is now an icon on a toolbar to hide/show travelled mechs.

Regards,
Derek
