Is there a way to loop through a layer's property groups and JUST get the ones that are visible?

Hi,

I'm trying to just get the property groups that are visible to a given layer in my script. Is there such a property?

For example, when I loop through a Shape Layer's property groups, I get Masks, Layer Styles, Material Options, and Audio property groups, when none of these are appropriate. I've tried using property().elided, but it just gives me the hidden "Contents" folders within the Vector Groups and 'Masks' within 'Compositing Options'.
