Select groups and objects in a group

Direct-Selection tool and Lasso tool let you select a single path
or object that is part of one group or several groups. If you have
groups of objects within other groups, you can select the next group
in the grouping hierarchy by using the Group-Selection tool. Each
successive click adds another subset of grouped objects to the selection.
