 From what I understood of your problem (not much, I have to confess) I 
would write a custom layout that hides or show your something based on 
an attribute. Then you can write something like:

<something name="somename" hideme="true" />

So you can hide or show it on your custom layout with 
"somename.setAttribute('hideme', false)", or use a constraint on 
"hideme" attribute.

Custom layouts are funny, try it!
