Is it possible to Snapshot ALL indices and exclude some?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hey there,
The use case is:
I want to default snapshot all indices. But, I want to leave out a few of them.
The environment I am working on is dynamic, and new indices are created daily. I want to determine with each new index, rather to snapshot or not.

I see that it is possible to snapshot all

PUT /_slm/policy/nightly-snapshots
{
...
  "config": { 
    "indices": ["*"] 
  },
...
}

Or some

PUT /_slm/policy/nightly-snapshots
{
... 
  "config": { 
    "indices": ["index-1, index2"] 
  },
...
}

So I am after something like

...
"config": {
   "indices": ["*"],
   "exceptions": ["index-1, index-2, ..., index-N]
},
...

The alternative is of-course to add all indices which will make a very tedious job.

Thanks!
