secretly open file

I have a script which scans a filename column in a Jmp data table and opens the respective files as Jmp data tables.

After 100 such files, my Jmp main window is crowded with measurement files and the important files get hard to find.

Is there an argument for open() which tells Jmp to forget that it opened the file

... such that the file doesn't get into the list on the main window?

Files which are opened in Batch mode via MFI don't get listed, right?
