LaTeX is not only about characters, it's a word processor, so it
doesn't make much sense (IMHO) to render only part of the text it is
supposed to produce in print, and leave the rest as \directives.
Anyway, to answer your original question whether there's a
customizable display feature that can display a string instead of
another string, then no, there's no such feature. Overlays is the
infrastructure on which one could build such a feature (you can look,
e.g., at glasses.el for an example of doing that), but I think you
will need to write some Lisp to implement that, customizations alone
will not suffice.
