What about an --add / -a option (or replacement of --short / -s) that only
adds the files listed (regardless of the files in the current patch), i.e.

hg init test
echo 'initialA' >> A
echo 'initialB' >> B
hg ci -A -m 'initial commit'
echo 'I want this line' >> A
hg qnew monkeypatch
echo 'Keep this line one as well' >> B
echo 'But not this one' >> A
hg qref -a B
hg diff
diff --git a/A b/A
--- a/A
+++ b/A
@@ -1,2 +1,3 @@
 initialA
 I want this line
+But not this one
