Hi Nio,
Oh, I see for the source..
I was thinking along the lines of destination... 
I am still thinking about giving the users the ability to mount drives
from zmktbl like we had talked about earlier in the 'lsblker' process :)
Yes you should hide it, but if we do end up adding a mount option, if
you give something like:

while test $# -ne 0
 do
  case $1 in
    write-mounter)
    # display windows
    ;;
    read-mounter)
    # hide windows
    ;;
    esac
done

This way if you or I decide to add the mounting ability we don't have to
recode... it will be there already.
