Just got a solution for those who have a similar desire.
adapted from the solution [here][1], thanks Stephan!
left click set neighbors visible, right-click set node invisible.

Your approach is good, it just needs some adjustments for your desired result. I'd add a filter for every non ellipse node and remove the nodes with no visible connected edges. I use the function `.hidden()` for that, it returns true if every edge is hidden and false if there is at least one visible edge:
```
cy.nodes('[shape="ellipse"]').addClass("hidden");
cy.nodes('[shape!="ellipse"]').each(function(node) {
if (node.connectedEdges().hidden()) {
node.addClass("hidden");
}
});
```
This works because of the style I added. Nodes with a display value of none hide their edges automatically, so there is no need to hide edges manually:
```
{
selector: '.hidden',
css: {
'display': 'none'
}
}
```
I tried this out in this dagre graph within a click event listener. I also changed the addClass to toggleClass, you can remove and add the classes with repeated clicks that way:
