Not without messing with your metadata, but now that you mention it, that
isn't a crazy feature to request (hint). I'm not sure why that never
occurred to me. I think I convinced myself it's some kind of security
risk, but that logic doesn't really hold.

In that scenario, you certainly can control it, yes.
