How can you select an object below another object?

Question

Let's say I have a few objects overlapping, for example, traces on different layers, or place bound and DFA bound. I may run into a situation where I want to move or select one object object, but when I click it selects the other object in that same location. 
 How can I select the other objects? I've noticed that I can tab through all the objects at that location, but when I click to move or select the object, it always selects the first object, regardless of what I am currently tabbed to.

 u can do the move command, then select a tab key to select the object as well.

This work only if you work like this: select object, then select the command. 
 If you want to first select command (this is what i do since.... 1996; at this time it was the only way to use the tool) and then the object you have to: 
 Setup->User Preference=>Ui=>Control Panel=>find_non_gui_reject = Always 
 Then alias tab to reject (in command line type "alias tab reject" 
 
 With this it work in command first / object next mode
