If you have multiple models selected, you can hide them all at once with H or by Alt+LMB on the Eye icon in the Outliner. However, there does not seem to be any way to unhide only the selected objects without unhiding everything. Alt-clicking on the Eye again only unhides the specific object you're clicking on.

Any way around this?

This is relatively simple to do with a bit of Python code:

import bpy

for ob in bpy.data.objects:
    if not ob.select:
        continue
    ob.hide = False

You can paste this into a text editor in Blender and run it, or extend it into an add-on with an operator and a button to add to your user interface.

Under Edit > Preferences > Keymap, untick all the Select checkboxes.

This way when you unhide any geometry, it won't be selected anymore.
