Description
Your idea
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/63b7e7be-5df9-47a0-80d5-c3572d4695ff
Would like to be able to just click the endpoint of any line item and have that handle selected.
Problem to be solved
Can only select the end handles of a line item by first clicking the line, then the handle.
Prior art
Sibelius allows this behavior

Research direction
Start by reproducing the current line-handle interaction described in the issue: select a line first, then select its endpoint handle. Trace the desktop selection path for line items and compare it with the requested single-click behavior; done means clicking an endpoint directly selects that handle without first selecting the line.
