Description

This feature comes in handy when you need to perform an action on multiple rows but don't have a keyboard around.
Using only the mouse, I don't think it's currently possible to select more than a single row, because that requires the use of the Ctrl or Shift keys.
Drag to select is present in transmission-qt and qBittorrent.

I am going to experiment a bit with how this could potentially be implemented, but I can't provide any time estimates, so it's still up for grabs for anyone else willing to give it a go.

Research direction

The issue does not name files or tests; start by locating the table's row-selection entry point in the TypeScript/React UI. Review how single-row and Ctrl/Shift selection currently work, then define completion as selecting multiple rows using only mouse dragging without breaking existing selection behavior.
