Description

Use case: select all the construction lanes around the West Seattle bridge. Right now, easiest way is the bulk edit paint tool, but it's hard to grab everything in an area. Drawing a polygon and matching everything inside would be nicer. There's a Lasso tool in devtools/story.rs that we could generalize.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at the existing Lasso tool in devtools/story.rs and understand how it works. Then design a way to generalize it to select all objects within a drawn polygon area for bulk editing.
