Sometime when editing it’s necessary to select an item which is completely hidden by other items. Currently I haven’t found a save way to get the lower item except for malicious mapping of upper item and fix this later.

IMO there should be an easier way. How about to introduce a “query feature” as is on OSM base page to get a list of items of a small area. Then any of the items can be selected.

Best solution would be the “query feature” in the context menu (right mouse button).
Add "query feature" to ID
