Ah I see! Actually you are getting at something I've been thinking about. I'd like to give admins the option to make the "local" feed show anyone who was *approved* for a username on that domain even if it's not the one they currently have set on their profile!
This would solve your problem because you could just grant yourself a NIP-05 on that domain, but then choose not to set it.
I'm not 100% sure I've convinced the rest of the team this is a good idea, but if there is a demand from users that's good to know! So for now the best I can say is... stay tuned? 👀
