collapse partial code in large cell?

jt

In databricks notebook, we have SQL cells that are over 700 lines long. Is there a way to collapse a portion of the code vs scrolling?

Looking for something similar to what exists in Netezza, "--region" and "--end region" where anything between those commands are collapsible.

Sorry @Vidula Khannaโ€‹ . I haven't found a working solution yet. Here's a bit more info on what I'm looking for:

current query (If I have 60 columns, it's a long scroll to the bottom. True - I can join lines to shorten the cell, but it makes it hard to see the columns selected)

%sql 
 
SELECT
column1
, column2
, column3
, column4
, column5
, column6
, column7
, column8
, column9
, column10
, column11
FROM
table 

Desired (to avoid scrolling through the select columns to get to the bottom of the code)

%sql 
 
SELECT
<collapsed select columns> 
FROM
table
