This is a thing that Max does now post 2018 I think (it didn't before). If you have a number of elements, select one and hide the rest, and just quickslice - it will slice the element, and all the hidden elements also.
This shouldn't slice elements that are hidden. I don't think subobject operations should work on objects that are hidden this way. It's a pain to either undo mutliple times or unhide everything and fix all the random slices on other elements.
