SHIFT + Left klick will not work, since this is commonly used for extended
selections. e.g. Click on a part, than SHIFT click on a part 3 lines below the
first part and all parts between get selected too.
Also CTRL + left klick is used already, using ALT I havn't tried yet, but
could work.
So the problem I see is how to select just a part and not the group of parts?

I used the Raytrace software "Imagine" on the Amiga (quite some time ago) In Imagine there was a similar thing, objects break down in groups and groups break down in faces and faces break down in points.
