Pages: Selecting Multiple Sections

Learning how to use Apple's Pages. One thing that I can't figure out is how to select multiple items/sections. In Microsoft Word, the equivalent would be to select one item/section, and then press and hold "Control" ("Command") while you click to include other items/sections in the selection. This allows me to select multiple, disjoint sections for copying, editing, etc. and is quite useful. Does Pages have a similar function?

In Pages word processing documents, you can only select one section (and its inherent pages) at a time. If it were a Page layout format Pages document, then each thumbnail is a discrete section (and page) where you can select n-tuple thumbnails using shift or cmd keys.

There is not one line of MS Word code in Pages and Pages is purposely not a Word clone.
