Yes a toggle would be super cool, so you could initiate a command (like scale) then toggle only selection hidden edges or all hidden edges :)

I often use the perspective view to avoir this kind of "what edge is what object" thing

That's a pretty good idea, Michael.

I think there maybe something else you could try too:

I don't use the 'dashed' hidden lines, I've told the .ini to make them solid, so I have a cleaner image. The dashes are distracting to me.

Instead of red or some color like that, you could follow suit the way you've done with the other different types of selections.
Either with color or transparency level.

Let's say; your selected object could have hidden lines that are 50% transparent, and all non-selected objects could be set to show a slightly visible 20%.

Or, the selected hidden lines could have a special hidden-line-selected color that would inherently work with the chosen color scheme for selected objects.

Just some additional ideas.

The issue with this one is that transparent lines will get darker when there are more of them stacked up on top of one another, so it's difficult to guarantee that the non-selected ones would all be at a uniform 20% only.

This one has the problem that just in general attaching special meaning to certain colors tends to make it difficult to then also use colors for organization purposes. I try pretty hard to only use color indicators for a small number of things like selection so that you have most colors available for your own use instead of taken up with other meanings.
