Linked Tables that Don't Load, and Linking of Dataflows

We have a lot of dataflows that are chained together for purposes of both refresh and dependency visibility in lineage view, but the linked table from Dataflow A doing the link is only an input to Dataflow B and is not meant to pass through. This clutters the table list in Dataflow B.

Additionally, the linked refreshes only refresh the logic chains dependent on the linked entity being refreshed. Although this saves computing power it's not very visible and requires workarounds.

I propose that there's some way to identify

1. A linked table to act like a linked table currently does but just not load.
2. A way to identify refresh dependencies at the dataflow level, "when A finishes refresh ALL of B."
