Matteo,
It is surprising that we hadn’t already developed a code specifically for this. However, it is easy to add a special form marker for this purpose. User-defined special form markers begin with the letter “z”. It could be @z:ex for extraneous or whatever you wish. Page 47 of the CHAT manual describes this and says, "User-defined special forms can be marked with @z, followed by up to five letters of a user-defined code, such as in word@z:rftd. MOR will ignore or "skip" the user code and process the word.”
*CHI: I went to@z:ex swimming to the@z:ex Spain.
If however, you want MOR to really ignore the word, you could have
*CHI: I went &to_ex swimming to &the_ex Spain.
Because MOR ignores non-words beginning with &.
