Can I select layer on contents view programmatically ?

I am currently attempting to port a tool from ArcGIS Desktop + ArcObjects to ArcGIS Pro. In ArcObjects, I was able to select a layer in the content view using the following code:

IMap map = ArcMap.Document.FocusMap;
IActiveView activeView = (IActiveView)map;
IContentsView contentsView = mxd.CurrentContentsView;
contentsView.SelectedItem = layer;

However, in ArcGIS Pro, I cannot find an equivalent functionality. Is there a corresponding feature available in ArcGIS Pro? I could not find it in the API reference.

Thank you for the information, GKmieliauskas. The SelectLayers method in MapView is exactly what I was looking for. I appreciate your help!
