Yes.  Let's suppose you assign the items to a new library whose code
is "RESTRICTED".  You could then set the OpacHiddenItems system
preference to something like this:

homebranch: ["RESTRICTED"]

On the other hand, defining a new library would mean that there would
be various places in the OPAC where a patron could see that the
library exists, but not be able to see any items belonging to it.
While some custom CSS and JavaScript could be used to suppress the
existence of that library from the OPAC, that could get a little
awkward; using an item type instead might be a bit easier.

Regards,

Galen
