How to Show/hide pages based on drop-down selection?

I have a drop down or combobox and I need to hide/show pages depending on the selection.

Is there any chance I can do that?

In the "Organize Pages" tools panel there is a "More" dropdown menu with a Page Template option.

There is a way to do this but its complex.  The idea is to turn all the pages that need to be shown or hidden into page templates. Start out with all templates hidden. When selected, spawn the necessary pages. If a different selection is made the code has to find the existing pages, delete them, then spawn new ones.
