Why don't you just isolate selection in the viewport and play?
Once you've done it the first time you can play, re-show everything with the X icon in the viewport, and when it's time to play again, but with a different selection, just middleclick the camera icon and play again; or even better, make a shortcut for isolate selection/isolate all.


What you're talking about sounds like an option that would simply bloat up a panel somewhere (one more thing to track in an already seriously encumbered display setup), which would just be a new dress for an existing functionality that's currently input based rather then option based.

...Or I might just be missing the point.

is there a way to hide objects only when you playback the animation in
the viewports? i think of a way to have my control objects visible all the
time BUT not when i play back the animation. they are in the way and
disturb the view. i thought of a override but failed to find a way to
check if the playback button is pressed or not.
