hide pattrstorage from autopattr?

Hi,

I am adding to an existing framework which already has pattrstorage and autopattr on the toplevel patcher, which is used to fill umenus as a way of binding parameters. I am looking to add a separate pattrstorage to store separate data which I do not want added to the umenu options. I am able to hide my pattr objects from the autopattr and bind only to the new pattrstorage object, but the new pattrstorage object itself is showing up in the first pattrstorage and therefor showing up in the umenus. Is there a way to implement the same "hide from autopattr" function (or something like it) on a pattrstorage object as exists for pattr objects?

Thanks,
Eric
