Hide files in .csproj without excluding them from build

Is it possible to hide files/folders in .net core csproj without excluding them from build? I have a folder containing generated files which I would rather see they are not visible inside Solution Explorer in Visual Studio.

Thanks to Martin answer, I found a way to apply it to a whole folder using **\**. For example for an ASP.NET Core wwwroot\Scripts folder which contains files compiled by TypeScript (TypeScriptCompile):

    <ItemGroup>
        <TypeScriptCompile Update="wwwroot\Scripts\**\**" Visible="False" />
        <Content Update="wwwroot\Scripts\**\**" Visible="False" />
    </ItemGroup>

As his answer noted, you can add more type in there like None.
