Suggestion: Select by Symbol #14

Hi, Thanks for this plugin, it saves me lots of time in complex Sketch files. Is it possible to have this plugin also offer the ability to select by Symbol Name?

I know Layers + Symbols are different types of objects, and I'm not sure if this request belongs in this plugin, maybe better here

Why?

I'm now using Symbols heavily, by making components to represent state, detailed here. One flow say has between 10 to 30 Artboards. As the design evolves, I manually select Symbols of a specific component across many Artboards, and use Sketch's Replace With feature to update them with different components representing other states. Selecting by symbol type would make things much faster. I'd imagine this is useful for anyone using a similar workflow.

Much appreciated, ~s
