Is there a way to select navigation item in all artboards in XD?

Question

I'm currently working on a project that has about 50 artboards, and would like to efficiently prototype the navigation bars in all artboards.
For example, I'd like to select the word "Dashboard" on all 50 screens simultaneously and link them to the Dasboard artboard. Copying and pasting the prototyped navbar from one artboard to all the others isn't an option as they differ in design throughout the artboards.
I've tried with the Same Name option in the SelectMenu plugin, but it only selects the same word in the artboard I've selected it from. I also tried with searching for the word in the layers, but it doesn't let me multiselect those either.
 
Is there a way to do this, or perhaps another plugin?
 
Thanks in advance!

Hello, have you tried to create a global component on your entire arbor and by adding new "state" of the component (right Property Inspector) to create the interactions. Then in prototype mode you select the blue arrow of the entire component and again from the Property Inspector tell where to bind. This way you will at least save 50 screens and you can connect the interactions faster. I hope I helped you.
