User Story

The user sees log messages coming from some third-party library. As they don't have influence on these messages they want to hide them to just see messages coming from their own code. They search within the Console panel for an option to hide them.
As soon as log messages coming from specific files can be hidden, there should be a UI added to the Console panel to allow blackboxing them directly from where they are logged. This avoids having to switch to the Debugger panel first. The UI for this could be implemented as a context menu entry and/or an eye symbol next to the source link for each logged message. Sebastian

For completeness, when a message is blackboxed, it is ignored, that means it is not logged to the console. There may be a hint (e.g. at the top of the Console panel) that messages were filtered out due to blackboxing, maybe even telling the sources that got blackboxed and an option to show them retroactively.
