automatic whole object selection with lasso or magic wand tool.

Here I have a circle pattern, all the fills are the same, all have the same appearance,

 

when I try selecting all the internal scattered objects with the lasso tool, it only partially selects them, its slow getting around their borders while trying not to select the outer ring of objects, using the selection tool on this radial design is difficult, as when you select some pieces you deselect others, I was hoping for an option whereby you could tick a checkbox for the lasso or magic wand tool to "select whole object" when you run the wand or lasso over those objects.At the moment the lasso tool only partially selects based on which nodes you encircled.

 

I cannot select the outer ring (would be just as difficult with selection tool) and use inverse because there are many other objects on the page also, I could have created the inner circle on another layer initially, but had not, in this situation a small enhancement to the magic wand or lasso would be good for selecting whole objects. When using experimental design approaches we don`t naturally pre plan every step or idea from the beginning.

 

the other option is to select them all with lasso, the group them, move them then ungroup, but again just looking for the one step opportunity as it seems simple enough.
