how to select multiple designators together with mouse?

So i know i can select multiple with SHIFT or with filters but if i have a mess in a certain overlay area can i select them somehow by dragging mouse in a certain way? or with some filter in the properties tab?
same question for schematic .
I sort of feel there must bea abetter way then SHIFT clock or filter on entire PBC/schematic.

You can drag select an area. Two ways
- top left to bottom right for everything WITHIN rectangle
- bottom right to top left for everything TOUCHING the rectangle

set filter to TEXT only and as @QDrives pointed out, draw a rectangle around them by mouse. i dont have access to altium now to test it, but I think that is what I use

Strictly speaking, depending on what you want to do, you need to select "components" and not "text" as designators are a property of the components.
For instance if you want to hide them.
