As has already been kinda said though, that would seem to break with
the normal expectations of the way selection in EW/TW works, e.g.
F11 in a List selects Paragraph, then List Body, then List. The secret
is just to understand the selection process for structures, then it's
one click for Figure Illustration and another on the Selection Indicator
(or F11) for Figure.
It might be worth mention that a v useful feature is the ability to search
for Picture Style and Figure Style, etc. in Find/ Replace -- and that this
selects the whole Figure ;-)
Figuratively,
Stewy
