You can use the Navigator panel in the Sidebar to easily select any shape.
Recently Writer's Navigator acquired the ability to delete all elements of a
certain content type: d5143c058bfdc0f5674c3e0a88fae2f9cbe28a0a Impress and Draw
don't have this yet.

In any case, there should only be one issue per report, so let's make this
about the toggle proposal.

I feel this could be dangerous as it could cause accidental data loss. Let's
loop UX into this.
