GraphicsLayer click event to obtain multiple graphics

Question

I've added a click event to a GraphicsLayer that has graphics from X/Y locations unrelated to Feature Layers. However, I've noticed that it's only showing a single graphic at a time. I basically need to select multiple graphics within an extent. The QueryTask forces me to point to a URL of a Feature Layer. But I don't have a Feature Layer; I only have Graphics. What gives? How can I select multiple graphics from a single Graphicslayer when the user clicks on a map? Feel like I'm missing something simple here.

Take a look at this one too:

It's very quick with several dozen graphics, but I've never used this selection method for more than that, so I can't say if it will be ok with several thousand. Maybe you could look into implementing graduated symbols for your graphics? https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/jssamples/renderer_graduated_polygon.html

Yes. I saw that after I posted:

The only problem is that it loops through all of the graphics on the map. Could be slow as I may end up with thousands of graphics. But maybe the only possible solution?
