I don't think I quite understand what you mean.  If you have a list of
tables (that doesn't change) then create an alias and configure only
those schemas to be loaded.  The list of included schemas is all that
matters and is all that will be loaded - regardless of other schemas
that are created and dropped.  Your problem seems to be a perfect fit
for the use of Alias properties.  I must be missing something.

Hi Rob, I did not understand the function then. It appeared to me that this was a way to exclude specific schema's.  But, I didn't get that a new schema, not in the schema select list, would, by default, not be included. I suppose that since there was also a way to specifically include schema's that should have been my clue that only the included schema's would be loaded from then on. Anyway, good news, thanks. Does your comment that the "list of tables that does not change" mean that if a new table is added to an included schema that it will not show up? Hope not.
