Assembly mode, pick the parent, not the child

$

Hi All,

 

is there a config setting, so that when I do my assemblies, i can pick the assembly, and not the part / child of the inteded sub assembly?

 

I have an assembly, and in that assembly I have parts and other 'sub assemblies'.  I'd like to click on a part (of the inserted sub assembly), and have it select the whole sub assembly, as it was brought into the main / larger  / master assembly.  I want to pick / click / select the sub assembly part, and not have to 'click - select parent, click select parent, click-slelct parent' all the time.  A few times, i go too far and the thrid or fouth 'slect parent' gets me to the top of the assemlby chain!

 

Yes, i can pick the sub assembly from the assembly tree, but with 100+ parts / sub assemblies, I never remeber the part No., and contstatnly scrolling up & down in the list is tiresome.  That part (assembly), there, is what I want..

 

I have a lot of panels with PEMs & such.  I have a few sub assemblies; weldments, as well.  And I just want to grab that assembly / part with one click.  It is how it was bought into the main assembly..  In my mind, that's how I should select it, not the individual sub-sub component
