Description
From Slack:
It would be helpful to have the ability to dynamically reveal or hide certain parameters based on the value of another parameter.
For instance, if we enable a flag like "align" to run the alignment stage of a QC pipeline, only the alignment-specific parameters would become visible, while they remain hidden otherwise.
This approach would make the interface cleaner and focus only on the parameters relevant to the current pipeline configuration.
Related to https://github.com/nf-core/tools/issues/2428 but only affects the launch UI.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the launch UI and the related nf-core/tools issue #2428 to understand the existing parameter model. Done means parameters can be conditionally shown or hidden based on another parameter's value, while unrelated parameters remain hidden when the condition is not met.
