Not sure about LC8, but up until now, I've used the cantSelect property to create styled background regions on top of which foreground objects can be selected. One example is the checkerboard pattern that's often used in graphics applications to indicate a transparent background. By enabling a control's cantSelect and disabled properties, you can drag-select other objects on top of that control without interacting with it.
