Hi

You can use deny (but not via the UI) but this would break navigation.

You could expose them in another folder with secondary links to the files.
Permissions are inherited via the primary association.
So if a user can not see a file it is not visible via the secondary links.

You should be able to get a rule to make the secondary associations for you - you would have to write some script.

A folder defined by query would help your use case but that is not yet supported.
Query would return what they can see regardless of navigation.
