Many times I have a large section of pipe or belt that in woven around other pipes and belts. You can easily click the pipe or belt and the entire thing highlights. It would be a great enhancement if there was a bull dozer button (much like the empty button to quickly delete that entire pipe. The current way to highlight often results in removing pipes and belts you do not want to remove. It also seems that when you do this the pipe or belt you do not want remove quickly gets removed while the pipe or belt you do want removed sits there waiting for a truck.
I am simply asking to have a bull dozer type button on that highlighted belt or pipe.

Does the Shift function of the current demolish ability not do what you want? Assuming you can reliably click on any portion of the desired pipe, you can hold Shift and, instead of choosing a portion of that pipe for deletion, it will choose that entire pipe for deletion.
I haven't used it much (when I want to delete an entire pipe I usually forget about it and manually select the whole thing lol), but it's one of the three variants that pops up when I choose the demolish action: left click (normal), hold Ctrl while left clicking (automatically use Unity to quick remove), hold Shift while left clicking (as mentioned above).
If that's not what you want, could you clarify what the difference is? Do you simply want that exact same ability but as an option on the screen that pops up when you select the pipe normally? or something else?
