Hi Hartelijke groet,
someone else may come with a better answer for your question.
Lightroom uses collections which can be very convenient. However, a
possible easy solution for you is to give the images a color or star rating
so that you can easily filter the view to see a selection of images.
As for histograms, I was teaching my students about this last night. The
answer I always give is to use either log or linear based upon which one
gives the best information. There is no hard and fast rule to which one is
best. Many average scenes may look great with linear, but with some scenes
where there are fewer bright or dark pixels these may be not obvious on a
linear histogram but become very obvious on a log histogram. Just switch
between the two and decide which is best for the individual image. I would
also like to point out that coming from an Adobe background for image
editing I relied heavily upon histograms for editing. Having watched
numerous videos by the Aurelien who is the developer of many Darktable
modules I have come to view over dependence on the histogram as painting by
numbers. The look is the most important bit when editing. When using the
linear histogram you adjusted the image until it looked good and there was
no obvious clipping. That is great. However, the log histogram detected a
few extreme pixels which were clipped. These may have been a small
number of black or white pixels that were at the extremes and not
significant to the image. The log display histogram overstates their
importance for this single image. If you want to see some examples of what
I mean, just ask.
