Select back face polygon function

Pls how difficult it would be to add some checkmark where I could turn on the feature of select backface polygons and not only from faced polygons in a shaded mode not x-ray mode. Currently, it selects only front polygons. Turning on x-ray mode is one step more :( Screenshot_1.png

Agree. Plus it's inconsistent with object mode where we can select objects "hidden" behind other objects without the need of xray nor wirteframe display modes.

We shouldn't have to change a display option to be able to select something.

The fact that the red highlighted faces in your illustration are, in fact, front facing does not help your proposal. There would be nothing stopping you from selecting them in that current mode.

How would you propose selecting a face that is not visible from your current view? More to the point, how would you propose NOT accidentally selecting a face that is not visible from your current view?
