"Why are you not using the layers palette to select any object(s)?" 

Most of my jobs have many objects on many layers. Having each object on it's own layer is just not an option. It would make an already complex job even more cumbersome and time consuming. 

A modifier-click option would speed up work flow and cut down frustration. 

Ever tried to select a solid shape close to, and beneath a line of text, only to be constantly selecting the text? A modifier-click would let you select the shape without having to lock, or place the text on a separate layer. 

Adobe, please catch up with Quark and Freehand and add this option to Illustrator.
