In doxygen, how to remove a specific file from the File menu

Question

I use a markdown page to generate my doxygen home page with the following approach:

INPUT                  = <path to my .md file> \
                         <path to my header files>
USE_MDFILE_AS_MAINPAGE = <path to my .md file>
SHOW_FILES             = YES

However in the Files tab, this shows my header files but also the path to my .md file (without showing the .md file itself). I would like the File tab to only show my header files but not the path to my .md file.

So far, the only workaround I found was to locate my .md file in the same directory in which my header files are located.

Is there a way for my .md file to be located in a different place than my header files without showing that path in the doxygen Files tab?

I don't think this is possible as you explicitly specify the header files, or do they have a special meaning, so they fit in the INCLUDE.. or EXAMPLE.. category? — albert
Which version of doxygen do you use? In the versions I used I don't see this behavior. You write USE_MDFILE_AS_MAINPAGE = <path to my .md file> is this path also including the name of the md file (as it should)? — albert
I use 1.8.15. Yes, <path to my .md file> includes the name of the md file itself. What behavior do you see? — Lolo

Not really an answer but too long for a comment (and there is an image):

Doxyfile:

INPUT                  = bb.md \
                         aa.h
USE_MDFILE_AS_MAINPAGE = bb.md
GENERATE_TREEVIEW      = YES

aa.h:

/// \file

bb.md:

The markdown file
