Select linked text frames

[ashf]

Would be nice if you could add a way to select linked text frames at once, even if they are on a different pages.

Why would this be nice?
It might help people to understand your request if you explain why you (or anyone else) might want this.
(I’m not saying that it shouldn’t happen, I’m just asking why people might want such functionality.)

You can already select all the text from the linked text frames. Are you asking for something different? And if so what would it allow that you can't do now?

I believe they're asking for the ability to select text frames on more than one page or spread at once.

There's a reason apps don't generally offer this feature - features such as Group require that all of the selected objects be on a single page or spread.

If you want to select all of the frames because you want to change their attributes all at once, you'd be better off putting the text frames on a master page and then editing the frame there.

OK, but it would help to know why they want to do that; what they're going to do once they have them selected.
