You can use QuickSelect (_QSE) and select Rotated Dimensions based on their measurement, or you can see if the text override is not empty, .... etc. There are many ways you can quickly select items based on your selection, you can select from an entire drawing or from a selection of object, and you can repeat it with the append option to make 'filtered' selections of multiple object types.

I didn't fully get you already knew Quick select from my initial reading of your post, but I figured to keep my reply phrased as is for others that might search this forum in the future.

for reference: you can just look at your object in the properties palette and find there which property you want to select and then go back to qse and look for that property.
