I played Guild Wars 2 and that option does not exist.

When you hide them from the screen, you also remove any way of interacting with them through mouse clicks. I suppose when you want to remove them being alone is the least of your concern. I, too, would very much like to turn that kind of option on during Odin, but the OP is asking to not receive updates about other players
