Certainly there is, redefine the \includegraphics... to insert nothing
but an invisible vertical rule being as high as the figure would be ...

I have an example of a .tex -> .pdf "skipping" an "embedded"
(I thought) .eps, contrary to my intention. I kind of remember
that this is a known problem, yet I can't afford ...
I mean, the place filled by the figure in YAP is nothing but empty
space in the .pdf.
