Not that I know, but for polygons you could temporarily make layer half
transparent, then you can see the selections 'trough' the overlaying
one. The map/node tools are just working then.

With points this more or less works also, depending on the shape/color
you use. So not sure if that would work...

But maybe we could do a feature request to copy the selected points as
'selected points' or so? Though I do see the problem there that this
maybe can be resource hungry when selecting a lot of points...
