   The intended solution for this is to use Global Edit feature.

   Copy the object you want to replace with, then select one of many copies you want to replace and use Select > Start Global Edit command.

   Using Shift, unmark those copies you don’t want to affect.

   Isolate the targeted copy.

   Paste the copied object and position it correctly relatively the old object.

   Delete the old object.

   Exit the isolation and end Global Edit.

   It may sound convoluted at first, but once you master the method, you’d be able to easily replace almost anything.

   Global Edit has its limitations: it doesn’t work for images, text objects, clipped masks, linked objects, and third-party plugins.
