I have a PCB component footprint that includes information on the overlay

On a particular component I do not want the overlay layer to show because it
overlaps a solder pad on another component.
Can the overlay layer be selectively turned on and off a footprint or must
new footprints be created with various degrees of overlay information?
Most board houses automatically apply a solder mask => silkscreen overlay
function that removes any silkscreen that would wind up on the pads or vias.
(This sometimes is a pain, as I'd just as soon have the silkscreen show
over the vias,
but because of tenting worries or testing access, they take it away.)
So, I don't think you need to worry about this.
