Comment:

 Is there any special reason to not to use some similar behavior like it is
 done by 'Select' tool ?

 Example:
 1. Draw multi-polygon feature containing few holes.
 2. Click on polygon using 'Identify' tool. Whole polygon including holes
 is highlighted.
 3. Click on polygon using 'Select' tool. Exact polygon shape is
 highlighted (without holes)

 I think, current behavior is quite confusing, when You have big
 polygons, containing holes where another polygons exists.
