Comment(by stevage):

 How about this:
 1) Select a way
 2) Press a key or click a certain toolbox tool
 3) All other ways with the same name=* tag that touch the first way (or
 touch a way with the same name=* tag that touches the first way...etc) are
 selected.

 I'm guessing that name=* is by far the most likely candidate for such a
 grouping. Are there other likely use cases?

 (I generally think it's better to handle a specific use case well, rather
 than having a general tool that handles a wide range of use cases -
 especially if most of them aren't useful. Happy to be corrected though.)
