How?

As designed, what we call "cantSelect" works like "alwaysBrowse", and both as documented as in practice it seems to do exactly that, which prevents drag-selecting across any object that has cantSelect set to true in order to attempt to select other objects which may be on top of it.

Is there some combination of properties that turn the alwaysBrowse behavior into a true cantSelect?

It would be very desirable to have such a thing, since we could then make things like a page-size graphic as a background for a drawing region, and drag-select across it.
