Confirmation emails are sometimes required for signing up for a webpage or sometimes just for logging into a page with 2FA.
I don't want to see any other emails, rather than the specific email, that I opened Gmail for, because they could distract me from what I actually wanted to do in the first place.
So I want Gmail to only show me emails, that arrived within a couple of minutes from 'right now'to minimize potential distractions. How can I do this within Gmail?
I was thinking, I could use a link to search my inbox with a specific filter, maybe?

It appears you can specify the number of hours:
To only show a portion of your email use multiple unboxes.
that should give you a new settings tab.
You can then specify one of the new inboxes to show items newer than 1 hour. newer_than:1h
if you tell it to put the new inbox above the main inbox then the new items will be in a separate inbox above the rest.
