You can select objects by their assigned names, and avoid mouse clicks completely.
To select objects by name:
Do one of the following:
On the main toolbar, click Select By Name.
Choose Edit menu > Select By > Name.
Choose Tools menu > Selection Floater.
The Select Objects or Selection Floater dialog is displayed. By default, these dialogs list all objects in the scene. Any selected objects are highlighted in the list.
Choose one or more objects in the list. Use CTRL to add to the selection.
Click Select to make the selection.
Select Object closes, while Selection Floater remains active.
For more information, see Select Objects Dialog.
