Maybe this can be extended (but not sure):

using overlays or text-properties may be a bit complicated as you
have to remove them if the text changes (though it might be hard to
edit this invisible text).

If the OP wants a simple solution I'd suggest using the "invisible
face" method (i would prefer something like darkgrey on black).
