Yes, it involves selecting the beginning or end of the area you want highlighted and holding the mouse down while you move it over your desired block of text or items. I’d imagine you could try this with VO and the mouse-dragging commands, or you might have better results with mouse keys on, which are independent of vO. Or the trackpad with keyboard-commander off might be a way to do this as well.
