There is no way to do that at present.

I think the best way to do it would be to mark the object properties as
private using the stability setting, e.g.

/**
 * Object:property:
 *
 * Description of property.
 *
 * Stability: Private
 */

Then in gtkdoc-mkdb.in in GetArgs() check if the stability level of each
property is Private and skip it if it is. It should be fairly easy to
do.
