Is it possible to ignore directories inside a staticDir?

gulp generates the static assets I need for my webpages into its own special directory structure that the theme developer chose. I’m attempting to point hugo’s staticDir to those assets, without copying unnecessary files (e.g., sample videos and sample images). If I pick and choose only the folders I want, then hugo flattens them into the sites root directory and all the relative links get broken.

From the answers I’m getting it seems that hugo is unable to do this at this point in time. My backup plan is to edit the bootstrap themes files to fix the relative links, but that was something I was hoping to avoid.

I did some searching on the hugo github repo, and it seems like this is an issue that someone has already created a pull request for.
