How to hide power pins in homogeneous parts?

slowRider

I'm placing a quad op-amp which is made up from 4 different symbols UxA to UxD with different pin numbers for the inputs and outputs, power pins are the same in all symbols. I would like to keep the power pins only in UxA and hide them on the other symbols. If I try to edit the schematic symbol by right click --> edit part and make the pins invisible in one part of the symbol, all other parts will reflect this change as well.

For example, if I go to UxB and select zero length for the pin + remove the check from 'visible' - I won't be able to see the power pin at any UxA - UxD.

How can I keep the power pins on the UxA only? Thanks!

    Try converting the part to hetero. Then you add the power pins only to "A"
