Keyboard Shortcut to select locked objects

When needing to move a locked object, you currently only have the option of "unlock ALL" whereas sometimes you may have many things locked that you do not want unlocked - only one or two things you want to move.

It would be helpful if by holding a button (Say Alt or control) this would allow you to select locked objects, move or alter the object, and once you deselect it continues to be locked.

    This would be so VERY HELPFUL. Sometimes I cannot figure out what layer an object is in because it is locked, so I can't choose "Locate Object" either. It's very counter productive to spend time going through sometimes hundreds of objects and layers trying to find that one stray mark I'm trying to change or get rid of. Thanks!
