Select all objects on same (sub)layer as selected object
Currently, you cannot select one object and expand the selection to the entire layer, the existing "Select > Object > All on same layers" selects the parent layers as well.
In case objects have different appearances, but reside on the same sublayer, it is much easier to select one object than to search for the appropriate layer in certain situations (especially on large files).

Dina, if you have a really complex document, locating the selected object in Layers (with the small button we can’t assign a hotkey to: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/34798945) and the scrolling the contents of the panel to see the layer item it belongs to can be very tedious. It’s just too many precise clicks, while a menu command is just one operation (even if it’s a same kind of command that can’t have a hotkey, in the Layers panel’s menu).

How is this different from selecting a layer from the layer palette? Just curious.
