Hmm I thought there was a command to extend the selection but I can't see it now so maybe not.
It is not even easy to script because you really need some information that tmux doesn't provide (a way to move the cursor to a position, or to calculate the position to use goto-line/cursor-right). It would be easier just to add it in C.
