Successive Object Selections in a mask without hitting ADD

Just wondered whether there's been an update on this? I also seem to recall it being possible at some point in the past via holding down the shift or comand key, and not only in ACR (which I never use).

Just workign on some files that really highlights the frustration of having to keep repeating three steps to make a multiple Object selection for one mask (Add > Object > make section). Logically, Maskig should allow repeated selections for Objects, the way it does with Brush. The process seems so time-consuming I decided to document the steps required on the next edit, a coat with 5 metals clasps, of which 3 are open, making a total of 8 seperate Objects. They all require the same treatment (so I want them on one mask). The process to achieve this feels frustratingly lengthy due to the number of clicks required to repeat steps (and the fact that LrC keeps closing the Mask tool in between).

• Mask > Create New Mask > Objects > make selection: x 11, a total of 33 steps (should only need to do this once, at the start, but LrC keeps closing the Mask tool).
• Select mask > Add > Object > make section: x 8 times, 24 steps (ie for initial selection of 8 objects objects with a hard outline).
• Select mask > Subtact > Select Object > make selection: 10 times, 30 steps (because although Select Object picks the clasp, it also picks some of the leather strips attaching it, which I don't want - but selecting with Brush > AutoMask is even less accurate).
• Select mask > Subtact  > Brush x 3,  9 steps.  (This (mercifully) works logically, allowing repeated actions without requiring the tool to be re-selected each time).
• Select mask to edit (again) > Add  > Brush x 3, 9 steps.

I now have an 8 object mask consisting of 22 different sub-masks, which I estimate it took at least 105 steps to achieve - ie mouse click tool selections, not counting brushstrokes.

I searched for the comment made by an Adobe professional saying a ticket has been raised but was unable to find anything. Does anyone have any insights? 

Dave, the functionality you described and want is the normal functionality within Adobe Camera Raw. Similar to the paintbrush, the object selection tool works continuously throughout the entire selection (starting and stopping endlessly, without selecting Add or otherwise). In mid 2022 an Adobe pro in this forum said that a repair ticket had been initiated to repair the problem in Lightroom. I am hoping by writing about this again that we can learn the status of the repair, that will provide the same functionality in LR.  

To Correct the current Object, say if not all the object got masked, click on Add at the bottom and select perhaps Brush, then Add as you see fit, and of course selecting Subtract then brush to remove.

To add additional objects, also in the current mask, click on that Add at the bottom then Object, and Add as you see fit in your current mask, repeat if desired

I can't think of a way.

Maybe you've seen a demo of Photoshop's new Object Selection tool?
