Easier Way of Selecting Multiple Objects / Duplicate a Selection

[KD_13]

Hello,

I'm currently creating a Festive Ugly Sweater Vector within Affinity Designer 2; and I was wondering if there is an easier way of selecting individual objects / selecting a design and then using that as a base of selection to repeat to other objects?!

For further context I have a 1:1 design where I have 100 x 100 symbols as a base global colour; then I'm creating different patterns using a secondary global colour and selecting those objects to change the fill colours from the base global colour to the secondary pattern global colour.

I know that I can click on "Option" (Mac) and drag to select multiple objects; or "Shift" and click to select multiple objects. But what I'm wondering is there an easier way of doing this?! Or is there a way to effectively create a selection group and select multiple objects with the same pattern?!

Any help would be appreciated!

As an example this is a rough sketch of what I want to do; that've done through Affinity Photo 2.

I have looked into this, but I'm not sure if this would be possible; as in the draft I posted in my previous reply, the gold is what I want the design to be; however, I need to select the red symbols under that gold to change the base global colour to be the secondary pattern global colour.

@KD_13, are you wanting to have the gold symbols be like the 'stitches' which are red but gold in colour?
