I would like to use an existing path to select objects that it touches. Similar to holding Alt+Drag to select with the red line, but using a existing path or shape to do the selecting.
Is there an extension for this? Is there a feature request I could make?
In a lot of cases I could do this as a work-around where I joined and then "separated" non overlapping sections, but that loses individual path fill etc.
Beyond the Basics "select by path"

1. Don't know, possibly.
2. Sure, but do it at https://inkscape.org/report
3. Try the new Boolean operations from 1.3, and node selection by drawing around instead, maybe they already solve your issues.
