Something like Quiet to quiet FrontEnd messages

Questions
1

Quiet will suppress messages from the Kernel. Is there a simple way to do the same for messages that are from the FrontEnd?

As an example of a FrontEnd message, execute

NotebookOpen["nothing"]
2

The front end messages could be suppressed by changing the settings in Preferences → Messages or programmatically, for example

CurrentValue[$FrontEnd, {MessageOptions, "ErrorAction"}] = {}

will do nothing, instead of the default “beep and put up dialog box”.

Thanks!

One of these days I am going to get it through my thick skull that CurrentValue is often the answer to a question that I have.
