Hello Manuel,
If I understand you correctly, what you want to achieve is some kind of object management tool in which you can select objects by their ID tag and do things with them, like change attributes or style, rename them, walk the object tree by expanding it, add events, etc.
If it is anything like the object manager you can find in Coreldraw for instance I think that would be a great addition. It could also serve as an alternative display for the XML editor that displays the file structure and nested objects by tag name rather than ID.
It would be nice if for instance you could select an object (such as a group) by ID (using a filter for instance with reg exp. or part of the ID name) and then have them show as selected in the drawing on the canvas. It would also allow for objects in the defs to be found more easily and maybe bring them to the body by just dragging them.
It would also make for an interesting option if for instance filters, gradients and fills in the defs could be displayed in a list with a simple representation. Using the symbol tool for example code would show how to create the displays of those. Filters probably being the more difficult as they won't display anything without a background, so for each of those a primitive background would need to be defined.
If that could be extended with an option to open an external file next to it as to drag and drop elements by either <use> or copy to the file being edited, you'd have created a real power tool.
Or am I now getting too free in my interpretation of what you mean to create ;-)
Cheers,
Jelle

But these are already established in INKSCAPE. As such I would like to remove a cable, then I click on the function and the cable I want to delete. This is possible, but would like to know what you think and if you are agree to add these features.
