Inviting Specific People to Channel Meetings (NOT the whole Team)

Hi.  I've spent quite a while on various forums looking for a definitive conversation on this, and can't find one.  (Or, at least not one I like!)  So...

Is there any way to invite only a specific set of required and optional people to a Channel Meeting?

That is, I want to create and manage the meeting invitation in a standard Channel (because I want the inevitable intra-meeting Chat to reside in the Channel); and I want to invite a working group of people (i.e., the group engaged on the specific meeting topic); and I don't mind if everyone in the Team can or does see that the meeting exists; and indeed I want the meeting results to be visible/accessible to everyone in the Team.  BUT I really don't want the meeting invitation and tentative calendar entry to go out to all Team Members.   Put one more way, simply: I have lots of Teams with dozens or hundreds of members, and within those Teams we often need to schedule and manage meetings that only require a subset of the Membership to attend. 

This ability seems so obviously useful to me.  Without it, we either (a) use Channel Meetings as designed -- which means we accept the nuisance of inviting many not-particularly-interested people to a meeting, which is noisy and irksome; or (b) use Outlook to schedule (private) Teams meetings -- which forces valuable conversations and records (meeting chat, recordings and posted files) to naturally live outside the relevant Channel, which is horrible when we're trying to break users of a nasty Chat addiction and instead drive all related work inside its designated Channel.

So... Is this feature being considered?  Scheduled for delivery?  Surely I'm far, far from alone in wanting this capability?

thanks
