Yes, it seems that I have understood you horribly wrong, sorry for the
noise (it must be the effects of the third modern vaccine that they gave
me yesterday :-)

In short, what you want is that a part of the text is "obscured" in some
way with respect to the main body text, and you would like Org to have
some marks for it. I see an important basic problem: there are many
procedures to reduce the reading importance of a text: simply pass that
text to a footnote, use dashes, parentheses or brackets, put the text in
a smaller size (which is the usual when these passages are isolated
paragraphs). I think it is better to define all these questions in the
output formats, through post-processing, and in Org use macros, custom
links, special blocks, the procedure that John has shared here, etc. But a
"universal" no-emphasis mark doesn't seem viable to me, IMHO.

Best regards,
