Select all on the same layer throughout components

hi, i’m pretty new to Sketchup and would like to select all entities from a specific layer throughout components. You can do this easely for ‘normal’ entities. There is of course the option “select all the same layer” but this doesn’t work through components. Isolating that layer with the layers panel doesn’t bring a solution either.

Is there a way without having to explode everything?

thank you!
