It would be really nice to make snap updates contain a security flag to denote security updates

I generally like the fact that snaps auto-update, but for me it doesn’t make any sense to have some of them updated, unless there is a security fix.
E.g., I have installed some video editing software on my PC, but I don’t use it more than once a year.
I don’t want to download updates for it monthly or weekly, if there is no security fix to be applied.
Perhaps it should be possible to make the snap service update it automatically only if there are security updates available (and mark every snap update package with a security flag for that purpose)?
I think it is a reasonable requirement, that Ubuntu itself seems to fulfil for its APT updates (security updates are installed automatically, the rest manually).
