New setting to allow Quick Open dialog to ignore "files.exclude" setting

[espenja]

Projects today are littered with different settings files, for example .eslintrc.json, tsconfig.json, etc.
Most of the time we don't need to deal with these files, so to have a clean workspace where my Explorer only shows the files and directories I am interested in, I have added all these settings files to the "files.exclude" setting. My workspace is now clean, and I can focus on the files that matter.

However, when I do need to make the occasional change to one of these "hidden" files, I want to be able to open them without going into my settings and manually removing or commenting the line containing the file I want to access, just to be able to access it. I didn't expect the Quick Open dialog (ctrl+p default) to also follow the "files.exclude" setting.

Could we have a setting to, or somehow, allow the Quick Open dialog to ignore the "files.exclude" setting.
This would allow us to have a more "zen" experience with the Explorer, but still be able to access hidden files we know are there.
