"Select device" -> hide "system/recovery/normal" partitions

Current behavior

I want to mount an encrypted partition/drive. I click on "Select device" dialog and it shows every drive & partition that is available.

Desired behavior

I want to hide partitions that are "mounted" in system in a normal way. I don't know the proper words for this (not native english), I mean those partitions that have a proper filesystem and are already assigned to a letter. Best example is "C" drive on Windows. Clipboard01 Best way I can think of to do this is to add some checkbox here that will just hide them (and remember checked/unchecked state) Looking at that screenshot, those partitons with drive letters have normal/proper filesystem and are already mounted/available in system as normal partitions. I don't know what would happen if i wanted to "mount" them in veracrypt (don't want to take the risk to test this out), but my understanding is that there's no chance to have a normal partition and somehow hide an encrypted partition in it's place. So showing those normal partitions here is essentially useless. And with GPT partition scheme, you get those multiple "system" partitions that are also useless (well, unless someone creates such partitions on purpose to hide something there).
