Mechanical Routing and Routing Levels

I am just learning the Mechanical Routing and came across Routing Levels. Well, I can use one routing path for several stocks and parts. And with this Routing Level, I can place those on different Levels. Doing so, NX will place the Routing Parts to the stocks, that are on the same level. So, the Elbow for the pipes from Level 1 will not be assigned to the pipes from Level2.
That's all fine.

But, wouldn't it be good to use this Level also for filtering the display, for moving to layers, creating reference sets, etc.? Let say, that I have used the same path for steelwork (level1) and for piping (level2). Now, I would like to place all the steelwork components to one refset and piping to another. I could achive this much faster, if I could somehow select all the parts from a particular level.
Or in Class Selection. If I want to hide all the parts from Level1, it would be ncie, if there was a Routing Level in detail filtering.

What do you think?
Would this be useful for those, who work a lot with Mechanical Routing?
Or is this possible already? And I just don't know how to do this.

Thanks for any suggestion.
Regards.
