Map widget- selecting overlapping polygons produces only one element in the list widget

I really thought this was going to be straightforward, but again, no.

In Experience builder I have 2 widgets: one map widget with a polygon layer (has overlapping polygons) and one list widget (data source being the same polygon layer). Action: map filters the list.

Clicking on the map, I want to see the selected polygons in the list. It does not work. What it does, it just selects/filters one. And then, using the map pop-up you can click next-next-next... all the way through the 80 selected polygons and the list updates every time you click next showing, every time, just that element.

Is there any way to click on the map and get ALL the elements selected in a list?

I know that the pop-up window has that little button to display all the selected elements, but that is an extra-click that I would want to avoid. And its very difficult for the untrained user to even know that that little button exists.

I do not know about a single click, but I've got a map where you can use the Select tool to drag a box over the area of interest, and the List widget updates with the selected records.

In the List properties, I set the content to the line layer of interest, selected features only:

For the trigger, on selection changes I have the list display selected records:

So when I select an area:

The list shows the records of interest:

Good luck! Let me know what you come up with.

True, this happens when you use the dedicated select tools that the map widget offers. I was referring to the normal clicking inside the map, just the way you trigger the pop up. Nevertheless this might be acceptable for us. Thanks!
