Transparency in weight paint?

You know how in edit mode you can toggle this “limit selection to visible” option to see all vertices at once? Well I have really complicated topology where some vertices are hidden underneath other vertices, and it would be really nice if that option existed for weight painting mode for face/vertices selection mode, which for some really weird reason, it doesn’t. Does anyone know of an alternative method for viewing weight paint specifically selected vertices with transparency so I can select them?

If you turn on Face, or Vertex selection masking in the weight paint header bar you can select faces using C, then hide the selected faces with H. You then have to also select the faces you want to paint on, A works. You need to toggle into edit mode(Tab) to unhide faces(Alt-H)
