After selecting elements in the viewport, is it possible to get the method by which it was selected?

[DenisMicha]

After selecting one or more elements in the viewport, is it possible to get information about how the elements were selected, i.e. was it by just picking it, by drawing crossing line or by drawing box? SelectionTool has selectionMethod property, but I guess it only updates internally during selection, because looking from external code it always returns 0 and doesn't update (unless I am doing something wrong). Is there any other simple way to get this information?

What do you think you would do with this information?

[DenisMicha]

Use it for elements selection performance tracking (how fast elements properties load) and comparing how it performs with different selection methods

[bbastings]

Getting the element ids is all done on the frontend by reading the depth buffer, I don't see how this is relevant to loading properties in response to the selection changed event.

I see, in that case, especially since it is not possible to get that info anyway, looks like it's not worth proceeding with this idea. Thank you for the answer
