Boolean Perspectives?

I’ve had a look through the forums, but haven’t seen anything that answers my question.

Is it possible to create a Perspective that exclude certain contexts or sub-contexts?

As an example, I have

Waiting For
Waiting For : Office

I have two Perspectives set up for the Waiting For context (general, and office specific). The office one only shows “Waiting For : Office” and works great. When I’m at work, I don’t want to see my personal/general waiting for.

The problem comes from my general one that shows both “Waiting For” and “Waiting For : Office”. I don’t want to see that I’m waiting for the TPS Report from so-and-so at the office when I’m not at work.

Is there some way to create a Perspective that shows “Waiting For” but excludes either “Waiting For : Office” or search term “Office”?

I’m currently doing a workaround by using:

Waiting For
Waiting For : General
Waiting For : Office

But I would prefer a cleaner solution if possible.

Exclusions (of any type) are not possible on current version. Your best shot is to submit it as a feature request, via email (omnifocus@omnigroup.com)

Thank you, @ediventurin! The response is appreciated.

I’ll keep using my workaround, and submit a feature request.
