matlab : suppress legend entry without removing from Plot Browser

One can suppress a legend entry for a line object h by executing h.HandleVisibility='off' or h.Annotation.LegendInformation.IconDisplayStyle='off'. However, both actions also prevent the curve from appearing in Matlab's Plot Browser user interface, and thus display of the curve cannot be interactively toggled.

Is there any way to suppress a legend entry for a given curve without also removing the ability to toggle display of that curve in the Plot Browser user interface?

You can also turn off handle visibility. This is way easier than having to set every plot as h1 = ...

Example:

x1 = randperm(10);
y = randperm(10);
x2 = randperm(10);

plot(x1, y, '-', 'Color', 'black', 'HandleVisibility', 'off')
hold on
plot(x2, y, '-', 'Color', 'green', 'DisplayName', 'Put This In Legend')
lgd = legend;
set(lgd, 'Location', 'best')

MATLAB's legend function accepts an optional argument listing the handles to include in the legend:

figure, hold on
h1 = plot(1,1,'ro');
h2 = plot(1,2,'gx');
h3 = plot(2,1,'m*');
legend([h1,h3]);  % don't make a legend for h2.
