Research direction
Start by examining the existing RectangleSelection component to understand the scroll behavior that needs to be replicated. Also review the Block Tunes toggle functionality to integrate drag handle. The implementation likely involves handling mousedown events on the toggle and coordinating with the selection logic. Check the repository's component structure for blocks and event handling in src/components/.
