People tend to like that:

(one line!)

Also see my msd-editor in CVS/externals/nusmuk/editor/ and maybe

You mean, select the graphical objects, that make up a *single*
instance of a struct-object? That is not possible, however you can
select any complete instance and get the pointer to that instance by
reading the [struct] object's outlet, which defined that data
structure. See doc/4.data.structures/08.selection.pd for an example.
Unfortunately this feature is not yet mentioned in struct-help.pd. It
was added in pd-0.39 which everyone who is regularily working with
data structures should use anyway.
