Variable font: axes for only certain glyphs

I am working on a variable font with multiple axes (and so multiple masters). Some of the axes only apply to some of the glyphs.

Is it possible to remove some of the masters for the glyphs to which they are redundant?

(I see how I can achieve the same thing by having some of the masters be filled with components created from other masters for that same glyph, but was wondering if there is a better way)

Have a look into virtual masters, that’s exactly what you are looking for.
