Rectangle Selection Script
A script I wrote using Extendscript. With this script, I make a box around the object(s) I want to select, no matter it's position versus other object, then I run the script will take the active selection (our box), then loop through every object on the artboard and compare it to the selection. If any objects' bounding box fall within the bounding box of the current selection, those objects are then selected, and the active selection is deleted. Now we have our object(s) selected, no matter its position or visibility if another object complete covers it.
