(Get the code!)
One of the things that I’d like to experiment with is allowing to select two consecutive blocks without necessarily selecting the whole parent block. For instance:
<div id="container">
…
<p id="text1">…</p>
<img id="img1" />
<img id="img2" />
<img id="img3" />
…
</div>
We should allow selecting img1 and img2 together, or any number of consecutive items, without forcing the selection to the container.
In a more complex scenario, we should even allow selecting two (or more) non consecutive items if they are descendants of the same container, and if they can be visually selected as a rectangle.
