When selecting a large region, the Inspector give the option to select specifically the notes, grace notes, or rests within the selection. I would like to see a Lyrics option added to this list, as there currently exists no easy way to select all lyrics on an instrument.

For an example use case, say I wrote a vocal solo line with lyrics. I now want to add a flute to double the vocal line. Copying the line from the vocal part also copies the lyrics, and there is no way to delete them from the flute part except to click them one at a time.

It's actually very easy - just right-click one lyrics, Select / All Similar Elements (or All Similar Elements in Range Selection). And as for 3.5, another method is click one lyric, shift+click another.
