This is only possible using the mouse. However, the behaviour should be consistent, as in the piano roll.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the Song Editor by selecting a project part and pressing Shift with the arrow key. Compare its selection behavior with the piano roll, where the expected behavior already works. Done means Shift plus the arrow keys extends the selection consistently in the Song Editor.
