Make it possible to select objects using a path.
It would be very useful to be able select individual objects in a document using a path which touches each of those objects or lies entirely within the path, or both, with each option being selectable by the user.

Yes, please.
I know a hacky method that does this, for simple shapes, using Pathfinder, but it won’t work for complex group.
I see this feature as a natural extension of the Group Overlapping Objects request: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/44725282 — but instead of grouping it should select.
Thanks for posting this.
