I'm no expert at this kind of thing, but: If you Option-Click on the right-hand cell marker of any one cell of a certain style, you select all the cells of that style in the notebook, right? So, if you can define some special style in your notebook's format that you then apply to all the "to-be-hidden" cells in the notebook, you can select and hide 'em all in one action.
