I don't know if anyone asked for this before!

Could we have something like C-selection in blender?

(in blender in wire frame mode one can press C and then a circle appears around the mouse radius of the circle is controllable by mouse wheel, with that circle the user is able to select certain edges, surfaces, points. and by pressing Shift user can deselect)

Could we have such thing? It would be useful for cases I have tried to show below:
