When detaching a source from head of household (census) could the entire family be detached?

Christine said: I am cleaning up a family and there are multiple census records incorrectly attached. I detached from the father, and now have to detach from the wife and all the children, which will result in me detaching each census (there are four) from each individual in the family. Then I have to go to that individuals detail page and delete it from their other information, residence. It gets rather tedius and time consuming!
If we can attach a record to multiple people at one time, could we detach from the head of household and then a prompt could come up that says, would you like to detach this source from the following individuals, and then listing all those who have the source attached and allowing us to choose who to detach from at once? And once it is detached as a source, could it be detached from the other information?
These two families were from registration areas about 30 miles apart. Mother and father had same names, so lots of people thought, Hey, Jonathon Hoyle and Sarah must be able to live in two places at once, since two 1841, 1851, 1861, and 1871 censuses were attached.

Step 1. Open the source and click on Review Attachments
Step 2. Click on a person's name to open their summary card:
Step 3. Open the person's details by right-clicking on Person in the summary card and opening the page in a new tab or window.
Delete the incorrect Residence.
Return to step 2 and repeat for each person.
Step 4. Detach each person, which should remove the source from that person's source list.
Please note that any unrelated individuals may be correctly attached, so the user needs to look at each person's record (step 3) to make sure the problem exists (wrong source) for that person.0
