How to hide a folder in VS Code except for certain files?

I'm trying to configure Visual Studio Code to hide a specific folder from both the left panel and the search results, but I want to keep certain file(s) within that folder visible.

Here's what I have in my .vscode/settings.json:

{"files.exclude": {"foo/**": true,"foo/bar.baz": false    },}

This configuration hides the entire foo folder, including the bar.baz file, which I want to keep visible.

How can I achieve this?

I want to:

1. Hide the foo folder from the left panel.
2. Exclude the foo folder from search results.
3. Keep specific files (like bar.baz) within the foo folder visible and searchable.
