hi, is there a way to select objects by clicking on their wireframe when Smooth Shade All + Wireframe On Shaded is on?

details:
when Smooth Shade All is on, you select objects by clicking on their surfaces and not by clicking on their wireframe (if Wireframe On Shaded is on)
which means you cannot select objects inside/behind other objects even if you can see their wireframe (if the object in front is transparent)
is there a way to enable selecting by clicking on their wireframe even when Smooth Shade All is on?
thank you
