P: Add option to select similar shots in Library (e.g. select all screenshots, landscapes, looks)

Lightroom Classic would greatly benefit from a “Select Similar” feature in the Library module. For example, selecting one screenshot (PNG or specific resolution) would allow you to quickly highlight all similar images by metadata or visual similarity. This streamlines deleting screenshots, burst photos, or selecting a set of photos to add to a custom library, or find a particular type of shot. It would save time and reduce clutter when handling large mixed catalogs. I work on Windows, Lightroom Classic version 14.4, and auto-import from Android as well as working with my camera.

@Sameer K Sorry, I misunderstood, I thought I was making one stack of images similar to the one I selected and I see now that it just goes through the entire folder and makes stacks of what it thinks is similar. Not quite the functionality I would like to see. What I would like to do is select one image and find all images that are similar to that one, ideally across folders as most of my shots are arranged in folders based on the date they were taken. A slider and a preview of what is found would also be nice.

Thanks @Sameer K , I don't seem to be able to see the photos that will be going into the stack, bot the grid and the filmstrip show only the photo selected as selected among all the other photos, which are visible. It would be helpful to see exactly what will be stacked

This sounds very promising, could you please tell me where to find this feature? The only option I can see that might resemble this feature is "(Early Access) Assisted Culling (LrClassic)" but it doesn't really have the type of functionality requested
