Is it possible to hide a token from some players but not others?

The title is my question. To explain, in the game I play (Pathfinder), sometimes PCs or NPCs can become invisible. However, sometimes other people can still sense their whereabouts. So, if Evil Mage becomes invisible, is it possible to hide Evil Mage from Dumb Fighter but not from Crafty Sorcerer?

The only way I've found to do this is with auras and invisible tokens. There was a discussion of this in the General forum this morning: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1940327/stealthy" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1940327/stealthy</a>... In this case though you wouldn't want to give control of your Evil Mage to a player. There are some things you could do with the API (a Mentor Level Perk), but it basically amounts to what I've mentioned in a more automated fashion.
Hi, in my adventure, I want to separate players in groups, for example when they are on different ways, I'd like to give them hints to find each other, but without letting them see others character's tokens or revealed areas I allow a group to see (like in a cave, the only thing you can see is you and your surrounding). I don't think the invisible token trick could work in such situation. I was wondering if someone came across this particular idea, but I didn't found any posts dealing with this. I'm still looking for solutions, yet It seems unsolved. (You may move this post in the good section as I don't know if I'm asking in the good one)

Tan, If you are using a 3rd party voice program (team speak maybe) that supports multiple channels so you can switch between groups then you can drag the individual players to separate maps. This technically allows you to run two or more groups at the same time that are not aware of each other nor can they communicate normally (unless they are cheating) during the game. Splitting the party wiki page talks about it.
Thanks a lot !
