Option to change selection method to avoid the Multiple Selection dialogue

Often when I'm working on the GeoPlan, I want to select, identify, or label multiple nodes or links. Every time I click on one that intersects with a sub catchment though, I have to deal with the multiple selection dialogue and choose which feature I wanted to select, slowing me down significantly.

In past ICM versions (versions 2021 and earlier) this was never an issue and it would always select the topmost feature. I understand that I can go into the Properties & Themes to toggle a layer's selectability, however this becomes annoying when I do want to keep all layers selectable label for identification or labelling. Perhaps an option to change the default setting for selecting/identifying/labelling objects (similar to how the identify tool on ArcMap works) would be useful.
