Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Search the existing picking and callback documentation and the public API for face or vertex selection, then document the supported access path and verify that the example matches the available behavior.

Description

enhancement

I am trying to access the picking of faces or vertices within a callback function to manipulate their content. However I didn't find any explicit way to do this in the documentation. Is this written somewhere?
