 Replying to [comment:2 helen]:
 > There are a lot of assumptions tied up in this about how one would use a
 hidden page that would make this a solution that would be unlikely to
 satisfy anybody out of the box. There are some existing UI issues
 (confusion about scheduled posts and visibility, which cannot co-exist
 given the way statuses are stored) as well as a custom status API that
 really needs fleshing out - see #12706. Closing as maybelater based on the
 need to shore up what we have first.

 This is what I want the hidden page for... I do not use primarily for
 blogging so I'm only concerned with pages. 1) I'm trying to cultivate a
 specific kind of customer. I don't want to attract the coupon follower
 kind of customers and so don't want the special offers out there for just
 anybody. 2) TUse of a hidden page would help in marketing analytics. I've
 tried several different types of marketing outside of the internet. Never
 really been able to get good tracking.  Using a QR/link to the the hidden
 page would help us to see what marketing people are looking at and paying
 attention to.
