The suggested elements correspond to what is allowed by the DocBook 5
schema.

"Force Deletion" has no keyboard shortcut. (Using "Force Deletion" is
almost never needed.)
As regards to "wrapping" consecutive elements, to be able to "copy as
reference", my idea is as follows:
<para xml:id="parWrap">
<para>
Paragraph 1
</para>
<para>
Paragraph 2
</para>
<figure>
<title>
.....
</figure>
</para>
A para may not contain other para.
and then I should be able to refer to the two paragraphs and the one
figure all-together by using the ID "parWrap".
I see that it is not possible (and recommended) to wrap these 3 elements
using a "para", however I have tried now using an "InformalExample", and
it works.
What you need seems to be the DocBook 5 equivalent of XHTML's div, that
is, a general purpose container having no special semantics. DocBook 5
has no such div element, therefore informalexample seems to be the most
``neutral'' choice among blockquote, caution, etc.
Is this the recommended way to do this, i.e. grouping and naming
consecutive elements for external references.
Yes. This is the simplest and safest way to do that.
However, you can also:
1) Turn on option "Allow advanced use of XInclude" (Options|Preferences,
Edit section).
This configuration step is done once for all. More information in:
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/editOptions.html
2) Select the 2 paras and the figure using "Select|Extend Selection to
Following Sibling" (keyboard shortcut "Esc ->")
3) Use "Copy As Reference".
A Warning dialog box will explain you the drawbacks of using such
method. (Uncheck "Warn about advanced use of XInclude" if you don't want
to see this dialog box any more.)
4) Paste a reference to the copied *range* of elements.
