selecting multiple sectors in an alternate way, Is this example possible?

I know if you hold down alt you can select multiple sectors by dragging a green box across them but what I want to do is go a step furthure by multi selecting sectors in various locations.

For example

..................................
:........:...........:..........:
:..A ...: .....B....:....C.....:
: .......:...........:...........:

Im not to good at making text based images but that represents three sectors side by side. Now what I want to know is if I could select sector "A" and sector "C" without selecting sector B. Similar to the way you can select multiple files in windows by holding down control or shift. This may not sound as if it would be useful, but it can be if your working with dozens of sectors.
Anyone know if this is possible??

No........I don't believe there is. Because when you select one sector and release the 'ALT' key, then the next time you you hit the 'ALT' key, you release the first capture.

You can always size up sector B so when you draw the green box the sector B won't be IN the box to be selected. Did that make sense?

And i know that's a horrible work around but it's the only thing i could think of that's closest to what you're asking.

Yea I guess that would work in certian circumstances. However lets say I had 40 door frames in various locations of a map, and I decide that they are all a coulple notches to high to look ideal and realistic, in a situation like this a multi select feature would be great. I wasnt exactly sure if mapster incooperated this or not.
