Excited to share that the requested functionality is now available in the public builds starting from V 28.3.0.
WIth the new Enclosed Mode, you can now select ONLY those objects which are completely INSIDE the marquee.
To activate the Enclosed Mode, just press 'E' ONCE after you start doing the marquee with the Normal Selection Tool or Group Selection tool.
Please note that,
1. The button E acts as a toggle, which means you just have to press E once, to get into or out of the enclosed mode.
2. You have to press E only after doing the marquee, pressing E in empty canvas will invoke the Free Transform tool or the tool the shortcut 'E' is assigned to.
We made a lot of effort in building this capability, so please try it out and let us what you all think!

NO hotkey or drag-direction requirement, please.
The drag-direction method will defeat the purpose of this feature in a great many cases, because you're trying to avoid selecting certain objects. Sometimes that requires coming at the drawing from a particular direction.
The hotkey method forces users to treat this selection method as somehow exceptional, when in fact it should be the default. At the very least, it should be PERSISTENTLY SETTABLE.
Also, Shift and Ctrl/Command can't be used because they're already used to extend, add to, or subtract from an existing selection.
