In LR Classic to select every image within a stack on right click of mouse

I use the fabulous autostack by time feature in LR Classic (latest version as of the date of this post).  This neatens and clarifies what is included in any stacks I have made most of which are in the hundreds of raw images.

However when I want to select a stack to export to other applications selecting the stack only grabs the first image and the stack must be laboriously expanded and then the firsts and last images must be selected (in windows) via the shift key.  This is not so easy when navigating down several pages of thumbnails.

A simple feature beneath the right click ‘stack’ option could be added to those already there to ‘Select all images in the stack’
