The user requests here explicitly a note, maybe just to have a attention signal for future use, so no I do think it should be shown / redered.

makes sense, however,

in such case i would want an ability to hide empty notes, say, by a skinparam

I'll explain:

say, you have a function

!function note(text)

note right: text

!endfunction

Sometimes the text passed to the note() may be empty, so, i'd like that in this case the note would NOT appear

I don't know whether the functionality exists / how it is formulated in plantuml but wouls something like:

!function note(text)

!if (text != "") then

  note right: text

!endif

!endfunction

i guess what you are proposing is not possible in the old preprocessor (but I'd like to have it for the old preprocessor if possible).

For preprocessorV2 it looks it works fine:
