I'd like to be able to create albums that are public, but not shown in the the interface. However, they should be accessible to users who are not logged in via a the link - equivalent to YouTube's unlisted feature. This would also be similar to how images can be directly linked to even when not in a public album.

This would be useful for image hosting usecases and more, as described in: https://piwigo.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=28931

Currently, we can get a similar effect using the ShareAlbum plugin, but this is meant more for giving access to private albums in a revokable way, adding unnecessary complexity where all that is wanted is to hide it from being navigated to from the homepage.
