[webkit-dev] Is it possible to select a rectangle using SelectionController?

[Grzesiek Czajkowski]

Hi,

For instance, I meant to select not only text but all elements which are
contained in some area. As you mentioned only selectable elements can be
selected. Is it possible to select not selectable too (like whites paces)?
As a result the whole area should be selected.

Thanks
