Flattening I guess would be about the same as grouping in InkS. Select all the items you want together. CTRL+G to group them.

Then draw a box around whatever it is you want to keep.

A box object or a selection? Neither one worked for me. IMO a crop tool would be most useful.

Bam! Cropped image.

Be aware, though, that the other stuff remains in the image, just invisible.

A destructive crop action could probably be done via boolean ops.

Seems likely. I'll try that when I have time. In the meantime I'll do screen captures of segments. I know how to make that technique work, crude as it may be.
