There are two possible approaches to dealing with selection. One approach is to manage selection semantics within a dedicated component. The other approach is to manage selection using hints. The Excalibur project provides support for selection/hints - whereas we are moving away from this approach in favor of purpose build components that encapsulate selection functionality (in fact hint based selection is explicitly not supported within the Merlin container). The guys over at Excalibur would be able to give you more information about possible solutions if you want to go down the general selection path. The alternative is to leverage what we call 'facilities' - components that can reach into a container a do a lot more that your classic component.
