If selecting of icons by rectangle was legally restricted, it can be omitted by selecting icons by drawing a curved boundary, like with a brush, around them. When the drawn figure close, all icons in it are marked/selected. If there are no legal patents around this or normal method it can be added as an option in window behavior setting. E. g. for people who likes original ways to use their computers.
