Allowing both object selection and toggle selection of items could result in a confusing interface. Magnolia solves this by actually implementing hybrid selection. In short, this means:

- when only selecting a single item, ticking its checkbox or simply selecting it using a click, a tap or hitting SPACE on the keyboard doesn't make a difference
- if one or multiple items are currently selected, you may add an item to this set by checking its checkbox or by selecting it while holding down the Ctrl/Cmd modifier key
- if one or multiple items are currently selected, you may remove an item from this set by unticking its checkbox or by selecting it again while holding down the Ctrl/Cmd modifier key
- when multiple items are selected, starting a drag or executing an action on them first ticks the checkboxes of all currently selected items (no matter how they were selected), then starts the drag or executes the actions on them. This is to visually clarify, which items are affected by the action.
- a preview is always shown on all selected items, whether they have been selected by ticking their checkbox or not.
