Scene Tab Drag-Selection

Is there a way to drag-select multiple items at once from the Scene tab in the middle of a large bunch?
There seems to be not enough space between items in the list to click in without unavoidably selecting one item and end up dragging it as if to be parented.

It can be done from the bottom up, but the groups I want to select aren't always on the bottom of the list (I know we can hold Ctrl and select with the mouse but that is tedious in large scenes).

If not can I request Daz look into it for a future update, please...
