Perhaps you can mark  all the ZigZagLines you are interested into,  
and form with them a group. Groups are easily identified in the file.
You change anything you want in the file, and back in Dia you break 
the group. 
(When several objects are grouped, I think you can change some common 
properties for all of them; but can't do any special thing to just one 
of the objects of the group)
