 python implementation:

import FreeCAD
def removesubtree(objs):
    def addsubobjs(obj,toremoveset):
        toremove.add(obj)
        for subobj in obj.OutList:
            addsubobjs(subobj,toremoveset)

    toremove=set()
    for obj in objs:
        addsubobjs(obj,toremove)
    checkinlistcomplete =False
    while not checkinlistcomplete:
        for obj in toremove:
            if (obj not in objs) and (frozenset(obj.InList) - toremove):
                toremove.remove(obj)
                break
        else:
            checkinlistcomplete = True
    for obj in toremove:
        obj.Document.removeObject(obj.Name)

import FreeCADGui
removesubtree(FreeCADGui.Selection.getSelection())

As you said in the description, it is possible that an item in the tree is used elsewhere in an other item's tree, so the code would have to check for this before deleting.

the function is available in the OpenSCAD workbench. Unless there is a demand for a global key binding, we can close the ticket.
