Object Selection ala world editor

Is it possible?
What I really want is a more advanced way of fetching items from the ground, in the current state, the only way I can fetch something from the ground is walking over it, causing a collision that will trigger the fetch procedure, what I want is to let the player decide what to pickup, selecting it(probably with a mouse click or a select next object keyboard hotkey) and then hitting a key to trigger the pickup procedure.
Has this been done already? If so, I would like directions to it, or if not, How would it be done, Im currently trying to figure out how the editor let you select things with the mouse and render the green box around the selected item. I didnt get it yet...
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Please share whatever you find out. Been looking for this, but I've been sidetracked. :)

Then I would guess this is pretty much what you need.
Maybe you should mail the makers of CF, he is a quite nice and helpful guy.
You can find the CF at this site:

Maybe you can get him to write a small tut on how he did this.
Hope this is of any help :)
