Stepping through link order

When multiple prims are linked together, is there an easy way to step through them one by one (something like alt-tab in Windows)?
Uses: Sometimes I have a prim in the linkage that is pretty inaccessible, and I'd like to be able to get to it without actually moving the prims that surround it. Also, for scripting, I'd like to be able to check the exact link order of all the pieces by stepping through them one by one.

No.
You'll have to rely on the selection tools at hand (shift-click, box selection, select by surrounding/center etc...) and camera movement.

You may already know this, but each prim has its own stack of undo's. You can temporarily move a prim out of the way, edit the hard to reach prim and then select the prim you move out of the way and do an undo. It will zip obediently back to its proper place.

It is definitely a good idea though, and not one that I've seen before. Selecting hidden prims can be an utter pain.
