In theory yes, but things are exotic enough as they are. Internally,
breaks simply are a special kind of picture and hence have a picture
style applied to them even if the style properties are not actually
used. At the moment, whenever you create a page break, the standard
'Picture style' is applied to it. It would be possible to have another
predefined picture style in the document, e.g., 'Break style' and
apply that by default, but that would lead to a mix of both styles
when editing a document created with an earlier version. So, I do not
think it would improve things. Obviously, the search facility could be
extended to search for breaks directly, but that would really be a bit
over the top.
