Add ability to select features on map in map viewer

Add the ability to select features directly on the map (Ex: select by polygon, etc) similar to the way you can within ArcGIS Pro. I want to be able to drop a rectangle or polygon around the features to select or do single one off selection of one feature or 2 with ability to hold down CTRL to select multiple.

Selection enhancements are on our roadmap. I don't have an exact release date but it is something we are actively looking into supporting. What type of actions are you looking to do to the features once selected? Thanks!

It would be fantastic if there were an easier workflow that enabled me/my users to use a drawn sketch(es) as a spatial feature filter(s) so I can filter the display of my features to only those under/outside of/etc the polygon(s). The closest is 'Find by Attributes and Location', but I can't use a sketch layer. I can extract data as a Shapefile via a sketch, but it's a pretty cumbersome workflow for users who are less than savvy.

@RussRoberts Glad to hear selections are on the roadmap. Once features are selected, I would like to do the following:
- Bulk edit attributes on features selected
- Run a report
- Export to Excel
