Hi Boaz,
I thought I'd mention one approach, in case you didn't know about it: 

"select" is one of the functions listed in the right side of the Model Panel.  You could use "Configure..." on the Model Panel to make model selection what happens when you double-click the line for that model.  After that, you need only open the Model Panel (or leave it up) and double-click different lines to select different models.
Best,
Elaine

Hi,
 
 I wonder if you could consider adding the option of selecting models to the pull-down selection menu. Right now, only chains (and other things) can be selected but quite often, when reading different models with the same chain names, the only way to select specific chains from a model would be by using the command line where models can be specified. This works of course, but having the model-selection option in the pull-down menu might add flexibility. What do you think ?
 
 Regards,
