Since we already can replace a tiles of the same type with a different material, could we get the same behaviour for other buildings as well?

Sorry if this has been discussed before, I looked around for a bit but couldn't find anything.  I think it'd be a great QoL change to be able to directly replace buildings other than tiles without having to deconstruct everything and start from scratch. For example, as I go further into space I'd like to replace my ceramic insulated LOX and LH2 pipes with pipes made of insulation but at the moment it's a huge pain since I'll have to tear all the piping down. Another example I can think of is power wires. My map has a copper volcano and I'd like all my wires that are not in an area where they will melt to be made of copper because real wires are made of copper and I'm weird like that. At the moment I'm having a hard time discerning what wires are not made of copper even when using the F4 layout as they may be obscured by other stuff.

Anyway, thanks for reading my rant.
