Hide topic hierarchy for Player Edition

Since I don't see it in this forum...

It would be nice to hide the parent topic for particular topics - so that the player edition doesn't reveal unknown relationships between (e.g.) individuals and their parent topic being the secret society.
 
Containment is intended to represent an absolute, typically physical relationship. It is NOT intended for relationships. An individual should generally only ever be contained by a cast list topic - or possibly a physical location where the individual will always be found. If an individual belongs to a secret society, that should be modeled as a relationship. It's quite possible that the individual could be forced out of the society, the society could be destroyed with the individual living on, or any of a zillion other possibilities that break the connection between the two topics (or turn it into an historical reference). If the individual leaves the society, he could go on to found a different secret cult. Heck, the individual could easily be the head of the merchants' guild AND the a member of the secret society. It's reasons like this that make it important to use relationships for non-physical, non-absolute connections between topics. :)
