Support for selecting features from vector tile layers has been added, which allows users to use the standard map-based selection tools to interactively select features from these sources.
When a vector tile layer has a selection, a user can:
Selections can be made using any of the interactive map-based selection tools, e.g. select by rectangle, freehand, polygon, or radius. All the shortcuts which apply to vector selections for adding/subtracting/intersecting selections also apply.
Selecting features is made using the tile zoom level of the canvas, and then the features selected at this zoom level persist even if the user changes the map scale to another vector tile zoom level. This means a user can zoom in and select a small/ detailed feature, then zoom out and still see the selected feature on the map.
