Ditto Outside Div

Is there a way to put the whole Ditto call in a Div without doing it through a template?
I have a div with with styling around my ditto call but I need the whole div to vanish when there’s no content. The easiest way I thought to do this is to include the div within the ditto code so that when there is no content ditto won’t display anything including the container div.

Is there anyway to include this div around the whole ditto call?

The following is a Javascript trick:

<div id="someUniqueID" class="...">
    [[Ditto? ... &noResults=`doHide` ... ]]
</div>

Content of the "doHide" chunk:

<script type="text/javascript">
    var objDiv = document.getElementById('someUniqueID');
    objDiv.style.display = 'none';
</script>

If Ditto fetches no document, the content of "doHide" chunk will be outputted hiding the whole div.
