Nothing built in, but one option is to put an invisible rectangle on a form, and make it visible and act like a selection rectangle when the mouse goes down. Another is to overlay (or underlay) a form sized picture on the form and use SVG to produce the selection rectangle. SVG is nice in that you can map the form's objects onto the SVG picture, use the form object names as the SVG ID, and use "SVG Find element IDs by rect" to get the selection.
