SUMMARY
***

I have some albums that I would prefer not to be part of timeline, dates, tags or other non-album viewing options (options that allow all albums from library to be viewed together). For me it would be a nice feature to enable toggling exclusion of those albums.
As a workaround, now can add a tag to images in those albums and filter to exclude. But a menu item would be easier.
If there is a better way to do this I'd love to know. Thanks!

Upon further investigation I see that its possible to use tag filter to exclude matching tags. Ideally I would like to be able to use filter tool to exclude albums as well. Why not be able to use exclusionary filters on any of the items in the filter menu?
