Please, this feature could save my life 
In the meantime, my solution is to place an emoji 
to indicate to the designer to not touch this props

Another option could be a menu on the line of the name of the component
In your example that would be “
IconRight 
” with a flyout menu to turn visibility of component properties on/off
Edit:

Please help with this functionality, I remember that when I was working with Sketch they have it and it helped the designers a lot and to maintain consistency in the DS and in the designs and that was about 3 years ago aprox.

Maybe you could merge this idea with https://forum.figma.com/t/hide-specific-properties-from-the-nested-instances-on-variant-property/42811 Thanks

I would also love this feature, it would simplify components and really improve efficiency for our Design System users.

Please please, this would be such a game changer for more complex components with subcomponents and nested properties.
Please, everyone coming here with same request/issue, vote the other thread!

Hey @Equinusocio ,
Thank you for noticing it! I merged this topic with the other thread, so we can have all the feedbacks and votes in the same place.

This feature is really a must-have! I try to workaround by adding Stop-Emojis in the property name, so that users of the design system won’t change the nested property. Much better it would be, if we could hide unwanted properties in the parent component.

+1 - such a mess without this
The need for this is such a no brainer.
So many upvotes and comments and still not a hint of solving this 
It’s a must-have! We use slots and master components a lot and this heavily affects usage of our components.
Any update on this ?
Please Figma, just copy paste and ship this please. Zoltan already did the work for you
Love that properties from nested components are available.
Unfortunately when designing object oriented components it becomes a huge pain to see many unnecessary properties that should remain untouched. Also creates clutter.
Curious what the Figma team thinks the best solution is.
I guess what we need is a setting for each property of a component to allow it to be listed or not in parent components.
But maybe there are better ways. I trust them to come up with something brilliant.
+1, we need this
