Conditional UI in Configurable Parts

Is it possible to create a conditional UI in a configurable part similar to conditional formatting in a Featurescript? Making a pretty complex addition to the MKCAD parts library for FIRST Robotics, and I am hoping to turn off some of the customization features for new users.
Any chance Onshape is looking for interns?

FEATURESCRIPT INSTANTIATOR: CONFIGURATIONS + FEATURESCRIPT = MORE POWER, EASIER CODING

I'm hoping, with this broader project, to create a configurable part that I can drop into an assembly using parameters the user gives - no derives into unique part studios on the user's end. Currently, when inserting the shaft to be configurable, there is an overwhelming number of configurations for simpler users, but it still doesn't have quite the customization that superusers are looking for. I'm hoping to create a conditional UI that opens or removes some of the customization features dependent on checkboxes in the configurable UI. Looking deep into the Ilya's thread, I'm not sure this workflow accomplishes what I'm going for, though it's likely I'm missing something.

There several 3rd party partners who have added their rules logic to drive Onshape configs. If you were to look at gripshape.com. It is basically a rules engine, driving Onshape configurations. There are a few other online 3D catalogs/configurators being driven today using Onshape.
https://helioztechnologies.com/onshape I am not sure if they added any rules. But that is the types of thing Helioz does
https://getshape.com/ this is an offshoot of the work they did for gripshape. a more generic solution. Part of their secret sauce is the rules engine.
I have another new partner who is going to be doing some interesting things in this space. This might be a simpler solution for more out of the box configuration controls for Onshape.
It all comes down to using the API to drive the Onshape configuration variables. Something unique to Onshape.

Very cool! I didn't know that companies could load configurable products into their sites - these are great demos!
Thanks for sharing
