The ability to restrict research in new "sandbox" mode

In a lot of factory games with a sandbox mode, one of my biggest headaches is designing blueprints/setups for various parts of the game, but having everything until endgame cluttering up my building menu. In the new sandbox mode, a huge QOL feature would be the ability to "restrict" the research you have access to! Something like right-clicking a research would disable it (and all following research), allowing us to build with what we know before having to sort through a bunch of things we've yet to discover! I would like this since I don't look super far ahead in the research tree, instead preferring to discover things as I unlock them.
