Turning Components On and OFF via the lightbulb

Turning Components On and OFF via the lightbulb

It's great that there's a little lightbulb next to each component, body, sketch, etc. and that you can turn off all the ON sub-parts or turn OFF all the off sub-components with a simple click . But there are times, in a list of sub-components, where I'd like to, for example, turn off all but one or two (when all or nearly all are already selected as on), or turn on all but a few when (when all or nearly all are already selected as on). For example, I might have a whole bunch of connected or near-to-one-another objects and I just want to look at, manipulate, or edit just one or two yet see them in relation to one another and just a few of the nearby objects.  And, frankly, this happens a LOT in my project. In those kinds of cases it takes a whole lot of clicks to get just the desired ones on or off. 

So, I'd like to see some extra options added, via a right-click drop-down list on the "parent" light bulb object that says, "Show All sub-objects" and "Un-show all sub-subjects" (but doesn't actually change the status of the parent object's lightbulb) which will turn on or turn off the lightbulb for ALL the sub-objects. It would then become much easier to select just those sub-objects that I want to be shown or un-shown.

In this case I wanted to have JUST the components that surround the NEW component I'll be working on next, the empty space in this picture. But getting just those components turned on, via their respective lightbubls, took a whole slew of clicks on the overall project.
