I guess, I will soon be called Tediousman, because that's what my suggestions are.
Yet, for completeness sake, I'd like to add two options:
You can put objects on a layer and then drag the layer to the HUD. Right click in HUD and choose "Action->Enter Command...", enter "Select from Layer". Bamm! With just four clicks and entering 18 characters (incl. space and return...), you can now click the layer in the HUD to select its objects.
You can use the Selection Object (Menu: Select -> Selection Filter -> Create Selection Object) in a similar way. A wee bit simpler. Drag the Selection Object to the HUD. Double click its icon to select the objects.
Nobody said, life is easy. And I'm of the firm opinion, you got to know the complex stuff to cherish the simple solutions.
