    Unfortunately no.

    There is an Improvement request out there somewhere for assembly folders, I can't seem to find it though :(

    You "could" put all the screws in their own sub assembly and then they would only show as single line in the main assy.  Reeks of "workaround" but gets some of the desired result, at least until we have folders in assemblies.

    problem with sub assemblies is it messes with the BOM structure.

    you can't only expand one sub assembly, so you  would need to create a separate view and link a BOM to it to see the part is the sub assembly. Ballooning is then out of the question too :(

    If you have no plans on ballooning your fasteners, then I suppose it would be ok. 
    Thankfully Onshape's mate structure allows this too

    Folder in assembly will be nice. So you can easy find the "important" parts. And do not have to scroll endless.
