Is it possible to suppress and un suppress features of a part in Options modeler

Hello,

 

I need to start out by saying Im new to Options modeler, trying to explore the possibilities. In my scenario, I am creating a configurable product of a Hydraulic cylinder. In this scenario I have some options like Bore size, port type, temperature range etc. Is it possible to suppress or un suppress certain features of one of the parts, for eg. the cylinder barrel can have different type of port feature based on the option selected. Additionally for option like temperature, I need to be able to switch the material of certain parts in the cylinder. Im exploring this since the permutations and combinations keep growing and my understanding is that you can only add or remove a part/sub-assembly in the final BOM. The current approach would involve having a CAD part for every Port configuration and different parts for every material which again is not promoting reuse.
