No, you need to be able to select with the mouse. You are building a design app and the users are mostly visual people. So you will try things, move stuff around test what locks best. If you have to dig through the outline view all the time you would get mad.

The outline view is a nice addition (it is available in Illustrator but not in InDesign) if you have a lot elements at need to sort things out ...
