As far as I know, you could always Batch Edit from the Maniphest query page.
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/advanced/ Then just search for what you want. In your example for a workboard, you would search for the workboard's title (rather than hacking the URL). So, if I want to Batch Edit tasks on the Team-Practices board, I'd do a Maniphest query for Tags = Team-Practices, then Batch Edit the results, as selected. The real gem that you surfaced is selective Batch Editing tasks in a column, since you can't do a Maniphest query for columns, and even when you Batch Edit a column via the column dropdown, you can't deselect tasks. Super useful. Of course, if you're a not a member of Triagers <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/13/>, you can't Batch Edit, anyway. :) Potential use cases: bulk editing in triage, bulk estimation, > recategorizing lots of tasks at once, etc. > Batch editing hasn't really been updated as new Phab features have been introduced, so newer things like Story Points (estimation) are not an option.
