Yes, there is a way.  
Put this into the baseof.html  
{{ if .Params.render }}  
page goes here  
{{ end }}  
And put this into frontmatter of pages that should be rendered  
render = true  
All other x.md files will not be rendered by hugo command.  
Note: the hugo server will still render all pages.  
Note: also put the code into the sitemap.xml [How to omit page from sitemap](https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/how-to-omit-page-from-sitemap/1126) (But use current sitemap.xml from [https://gohugo.io/templates/sitemap-template/](https://gohugo.io/templates/sitemap-template/))
