> only clipped part is shown
That's what clipping is intended for… ;)

You can release a clip via menu 'Object > Clip > Release', and you can select all clipped objects prior to using the command vie 'Edit > FInd…' (enter the string "clip-path" into the 'Attribute' field). After releasing the clips you still have to manually remove the clip-paths which are now visible as regular paths (with a black fill because the fill attribute is 'Unset') - ctrl-click allows to select a path directly without manually entering the (nested) groups it is within.
