Hidden Categories / Channels

Ok, so I have seen people ask for this feature and it still is not available.
Hiding categories / channels.

What I am searching for is:
A way to hide categories / channels from your standard server member but they are able to access these hidden channels via "links" in another channel.
(Someone without a role) and no.... I do not want to make roles.

The purpose of this is to make the discord less channel heavy for your standard member. Organizing channels, collapsing the amount of channels, and making the entire server look a lot more professional.

Hide them, but give them access by a link to the channel. "This would be the only way to view that channel(s)" - via link.

I am not interested in giving and removing a million roles to do this. -Would make it more complicated to achieve, doing it this way.

I have attempted to set the category to the admin only. Channels to everyone.
-This did not work. The channels were visible on the left scroll down.

I have attempted to set the entire thing to admin only, and then it was not visible, even with the link.

Definitely a must have option. I know this has been mentioned numerous times and still has not been added. It definitely should be a feature.
