Disable red/green junction indicators for a specific junction?

Is there a way to disable the red/green junction indicator arrows for a specific junction in driver mode?

I'm aware of how to do it globally, for all junctions, by using the Quickdrive Rule to "change session settings", also the dropdown menu "Hide junction overlays" item.
What I want to do is hide them permanently ie even when "mouse-over", for specific junctions.

The reason is I want to simulate operation of a ground frame. For non-UK users, a ground frame is a lever frame, usually at ground level, that operates points/turnouts/switches that are immediately adjacent to it, rather than operated from a signal box/tower. The frame is able to be locked, by a key, and has levers that lock the points. They are used where there is not justification for a proper manned signal box, but simple hand lever operation is not suitable, such as lightly used passenger lines. At my local station, there is no longer a signal box, but there are 3 separate ground frames.

In TS12, I have set up a Y-shaped length of invisible track and placed Switch Lever (the red one) and carefully moved it so that the lever visually lines up with the levers in the ground frame scenery object. I have used mizi's Junction Control V2 object to link the GF lever with the junctions on the real track. It works by clicking on the GF lever, which then also changes the track junctions.

I wish to disable the ability to click on the real junction to change it, so forcing a player, manually driving a train, to click on the GF (and only the GF) to change the junctions.

Can this be done in TS12?

Incidentally I found that using the Junction Controller will enable the real junction to be changed even when it is locked. Thus you can manually drive a train only just clear of the points, and then change them with the GF, just as in real life :)
