To some degree this is possible. It is possible to select everything, 
and then choose only the stuff you want to keep.
But since all strokes and filled areas are selected as one shape item, 
you can't select individual strokes easily.

Anyway, to filter the selection, you can do something like this.
D = fl.getDocumentDOM();
SEL = D.selection;
MSEL = new Array();
for (i=0;i<SEL.length;i++){
            if (SEL[i].whatever == whatever it is you want to keep){
                MSEL.push(SEL[i]);
            }
}
D.selectNone();
D.selection = MSEL;

I use this solution to select all the text elements.
