Add a 'Select More' menu option
When working with a very busy file, it's often much easier to select an anchor or line segment than an object.
My idea is to have a menu option that selects the object or objects which currently have anchors or line segments selected.
A user could select an object by first selecting one of its anchors, and then using this menu option.
If the user hits this feature multiple times, it could continue to 'select more' by, for example, selecting all siblings within the current group, and then the group itself, and then the group's siblings etc.

Thank you Egor! I'll totally be using your select inverse trick in the mean time :)

Oh, yes.
There is a simple trick I personally use to select partially selected path fully.
Select > Inverse, twice. The first one will select all other objects than the current partial selection, and the second one will select the original stuff back, but now fully selected.The second part of your request (that basically mimics the clicking with Group Selection tool) can be somewhat faked with pressing Next Object Above and followed with Next Object Below... but this will select top-level objects, and won’t really work if you have a lot of nested objects. You can certainly try it.
I am sure it can be done with scripts...
And I’m dead sure we need a command like this. Voted.(Edited by admin)
