How to hide the items in the "Title etc" column on the web when the cursor is over the Library name

Hi! Is it possible to hide the items in the "Title etc" column on the web when the cursor is over the Library name, as in the following figure?
I ask because for the average Library user, displaying these items at this level is a source of confusion.

I'm not clear what you're asking here?

This is just displaying standalone notes in your library. Why would they be hidden, and what does this have to do with the cursor?

Okay, I misspoke.
The problem is that for the average user consulting the Library, they first encounter that list with all the Library items, and this is a source of confusion for them, as they don't know if they should look for something there.
This has already been reported to me by more than one user who doesn't deal with Zotero, users who only want to consult the Library on the Internet.
I believe that if these items could be hidden at the Library name level, it would make viewing the Library easier and more objective for this type of user.

But that's because of how you structure your library, which is both using lots of standalone note _and_ specifically labelling them to sort to the top of the item list by title (using the _).
