Justin;
Thanks for the info. I sent an email w.r.t this subject seconds before
reading this, so if it sounds like I'm asking some of the questions you've
answered, ignore them.
Cheers,

IIRC David Yazel and Shawn Kendall have both implemented this, so
hopefully they might be able to help. I think they have been doing
single body, not n-body work though.
As a very simple summary - basically project a pick ray/polytope from
the position in the scene of the object that you want to react to
collisions and see what it collides with. If it is within whatever
bounds you require (ie something gets "picked") then decide whether it
collides or not.
