Is there a way to choose columns in the rustic snapshot tabular output?

It is a special case, but while writing the docs, I often find myself piping the rustic snapshot output through cut to remove the Time column.

$ rustic snapshots | cut -d '|' -f 1,2, 4-


snapshots for (host [kasimir], label [], paths [Project])
| ID       | Host    | Label | Tags | Paths   | Files | Dirs |      Size |
|----------|---------|-------|------|---------|-------|------|-----------|
