What does "need" mean? You don't want to show it in the Pipeline
browser at all? Maybe you just want to create two separate filters?
There's no way for changing the output-ports for a fitler dynamically.

This isn't supported currently. Please add a feature request to the
bug-tracker and we can see if that could be supported in the future
releases.
