The added feature of file size really comes into play when your assembly begins to grow in part count. AND it allows you to group your objects in a similar manner as groups, without giving up the ability to edit them as needed.

X-Refs are a marginal approach at best for this particular need (in my never to be considered humble opinion (!)) I'm going to try the macro. I Frequently use groups to manage both 2D & 3D entities for the exact purpose of the initial post. I get alot of success out of this approach. (I'm going to try the macro, and modify it with the prev. (remember to set your pickstyle to 1 afterward.) Its entities are retained as the previous selection set. (I use block with the retain as a block box checked). I get around the original problem in this manner:
