Yes, you're right!
Furthermore, on rechecking, I find more functionality than I realized
was there.
It's all about holding down Shift:

Whether you start by clicking a frame or using the click-drag selection
method, if you then hold down Shift, you can click, click, click to add
or remove objects from your selection. What's more, you can add or
remove objects in groups by click-dragging around them, to customize
your selections.

I think with this flexibility, it seems that having any additional
scheme like "greedy" selection is a bit superfluous.
