Have you played with the "Display Options" / "Guides and Markers" / "Set Display options for" dropdown? You should be able to turn on point display for selected only.

Yep, knew about the display option and tried that before. This only works for the current SOP context. Converting point to particles will work too. Alternatively, as I thought more about it, one can set the the display flag to null, and then the actual things you want to look at would be set to template. Finally, under display option, turn on the point/number display for the template. This would be exactly what I am looking for, albeit the extra steps. Thanks a bunch!

Would be great if SESI can easily implement another option for "Other Context Geometry" under "Set display options" too! :)
