This tip answers a question I spotted in Inkscape user chat. How do you select all the clones of a single parent shape?
First select one of the clones then [shift+d] selects the parent object. Open the XML editor [shift+ctrl+x]. Go to the id property and copy the attribute text (e.g. "parent_id"). Open the find dialog [ctrl+f] and paste the copied text into the Find: box. Select these checkboxes: Search in > Properties Options > Properties > Attribute value Options > Object types > Clones Finally click the [Find] button.
This selects all the clones that include "parent_id" in their attributes. You can also use the [Replace] button to change this attribute and link the selected clones to a different parent.
