Possible to select all specific rests?

I want to select all full rests in the score, is it possible? Or must it be done manually?

Do you mean full measure rests - the ones that look like whole rests but actually can be any duration - whatever the time signature requires? I don't know of a way select just those without selecitng *all* rests (eg, right click, Select / All Similar Elements). What is the use case here? I am having trouble imagining it. But maybe there is another way to do whatever it is you are trying to accomplish.

Should be easy enough to use the "subtype" for duration. But if this really is something that is actually something more than an obsolete way to save time back in the days of hand-written scores, then a style option or staff property does make sense. Still trying to understand the actual reason for the request.
