generally, selection behavior is application-specific. for example, given "Z = 2.96688494e+05" in a Konsole, a double-click selects "2.96688494e"; in a KDE compose window, a double-click selects "2.96688494e+05". it's unlikely you would be able to significantly modify this behavior in your applications-of-interest without substantial coding work.
