I do not know ... it is probably not there.

Some/most of the underlying functionality is available via the scripting
language, but it is probably not propogated up to the Jmol application UI.

Yes, it needs to be done.

Yes.

In addition to specifying a distance, Jmol also allows one to say
 within(group, <set-specification>)
 within(chain, <set-specification>)
 within(model, <set-specification>)

This is particularly useful because it allows one to expand a selection to
include all members of the groups.

There is no mechanism to do this.

(Note ... one cannot select bonds ... one can only select atoms)

Perhaps.

I would rather see people use file formats that specified bonds.
