Automatically select contiguous elements between two elements

For Civil tools that request multiple elements to be selected, and the elements represent represent a linear connected system (such as utility/piping), it would great to be able to select the start and end element to select the entire linear chain.

Idea would be hold the ALT+CTRL+Click and as long as the first and second elements are in same schema category and/or some property then all elements between would be selected.
