Hi @jethromyers,

Thank you for making this request! Good news: there is a "Select Children" command in the context menu when you right-click a layer.

 

Your second request is a good one as well. Would you expect a command like that to exist in the same menu as the "Select Children" command, or perhaps somewhere else?

 

Thanks again,
