A little known feature, but one of my favs...

you can select the value of an attribute or pset, and it will select all the objects that share that value.

Added a quick way to sum up the qto/pset values of multiple selected objects.

Use Shift+click on the value. It also copies the value to the clipboard.

As always, love the soundtrack in the demo!

I'm thinking maybe we need somewhere a button that will be possible to add to quick favorites, so user would be able to search by this query without setting up search UI or finding a similar element.
