How to temporarily disable iptables rule?

Typically I'm using MikroTik embeded routers, they're basing on Linux so their firewall settings feel pretty much 1:1 the same as iptables, just commands are a bit different but mechanics the same. Some more advance MTK firewall functionality with raw iptables can be achieved using -m extensions - like connection states or Idea for example.

I can't find disable option in raw iptables. Is there any iptables extension that allows to temporarily disable iptables rules?

By temporarily I mean disabling rule without actually removing it from table so that it's still visible in iptables -L but not functional. In MTK you can type something like set 40 disabled=yes and then later set 40 disabled=no
