Proxy to select squads?

[MadeByGabe]

Control groups have one big advantage over squads which is that they can be selected irrespective of proximity, we don't even need to see those groups on the screen.

Technically this doesn't matter since there's nothing stopping us from simply creating a control group for the squad and simply use both.

But there are also possible solutions to have the ability to select squads without proximity.

For example, we could have a hotkey: when we press that hotkey and click we place a proxy at mouse position which is linked to the currently selected squad(s).

Then we can use this proxy as a target for closest squad selection, or even click on it directly to not just select but also center the camera on the squad.

This could be especially useful for the reserve squads. For example you could have a proxy for air reserve near the frontline you're fighting on to select all the air units without having to move the mouse all the way to the back where they are usually hanging out.

being able to designate positions on the map may have application beyond selecting squads
