But if the object were guides you could see them on the screen with some color/format of choice

Is this worth all the trouble of adding a new object type and making changes in a lot of places to treat it differently?

and they won't appear on exported or printed works.

Neither will transparent boxes.

You could also select them all at once

You can do this with transparent boxes in their own layer, just ctrl+a.

, snap only to them

You can snap to regular objects now.

If this is more than a simple change to the code I think it could benefit some, however if it needs a lot of work to make it happen I'm not so sure it's worth it.

I'm afraid it's indeed a lot of work.
