Yes please! I am working with PDF-maps that have a lot of objects on the same layer. Illustrators magic wand tool is the perfect way to sort these objects. Will affinity create something like that tool?

Please do implement the full Illustrator feature "Wand"!!!

"that a transformation of a picture-frame will not embed the pic"

Aha. This is possible with regards to the straight frame-lines via the Vector-Crop-Tool.

Yes please!

Interesting. Thanks! There it says that some of the placed images ARE linked. Those are the images, of which I did not transform the frames. So I revise my former wish and ask, that a transformation of a picture-frame will not embed the pic.

I see. Thanks for your info! I suggest that both, the current and the suggested option, be included in the future software-setup. It will make working with large image-containing booklets so much easier.

Q1: How can I place foto-files from a source on my Mac onto a page as links? For a 100 page booklet with a total of 500 MB of placed image-files I would like the publisher-file-size to stay manageable. Thus I am hoping for the fotos to be linked, not embedded. While scrolling through the booklet I do not need to see the images in high precision. Q2: I would like to have publisher list all the linked files of the entire document, in order to have an overview and to manage these files. Thanks heaps!
