EntityPrototypeFlag "hidden-from-GUI" but still blueprintable

I reported a bug on this here already, but it appears to be intentional.

What I want
I want a way to hide an entity from the bonus GUI (and stuff like this) but the entity should still be selectable with a selection tool.

Why I need it
My mod adds a selection tool that swaps turrets with disabled turrets. Unfortunately the dummy entities show up in the bonus Gui as well. This I don't want. I thought giving them the flag "hidden" would hide them from the GUI, which it does, but it also makes them immune to any selection tool as if I had set the flag "not-blueprintable" to them. Since you need to use a selection tool to enable them again this is no option.

See 89398, the "hidden" entity prototype flag already works that way. Please use the linked thread as a place to investigate why your entities aren't blueprintable.
