Thank you for the response. I am looking for something automated.
After digging around on this, I've found a Lee Mac code snippet that does essentially what I want, flag intersection points of specified blocks.
I am going to try and adapt this code to fit my data - more specifically, add a list of tool palette blocks as the input, instead of user-selected, and add my own block "flag" as the intersection geometry, instead of user-selected.
;;------------=={ Insert Block at Intersections }==-----------;;
;; ;;
;; Prompts the user to select or specify a block to be ;;
;; inserted, and make a selection of intersecting objects. ;;
;; Proceeds to insert the specified block at all points of ;;
;; intersection between all objects in the selection. ;;
