I don't know, but I'll take the mathematical point of view

Can you make a partition which is designed to be visible to 
any application that's interested in partitions, visible to 
some of these applications and not to others?

I would expect not.

You can make a partition hidden, but then nothing will see 
it (AFAIK). You have to unhide the partition to reveal it 
again.
