(Get the code!)
Here is the RMB menu from PADS. Once you have chosen what you'd like to select, that is all you'll select until you change that choice. That's the way Allegro works as well, and I don't see it as a burden, but rather, as the proper way to filter what you want to select. Currently on the board I'm designing, I have to move all my reference designators, which is a pain because I have to use disambiguation on each click because they are all on top of footprints. If I could tell Kicad I just want references, my work would be much easier.
Kicad could implement the same interface as PADS without having to use screen real estate with a window area. The "Filter" item in the menu allows further specification (which I don't particularly like).
