How to enable an option to select multiple non-contiguous pieces of text in Pages app?

Pages v5 thru the current v11.1 does not support non-contiguous text selection. Nothing you can do about that limitation that has existed since Oct 2013, other than by choosing a different word processor that has this support.

I am a fellow user. The Pages product team does not confide in me about their product decisions. Use the application feedback menu item to request this feature from the product team. They do not participate in these public communities.

Ashamed? Probably not, as it has been nearly 8-years without remedy since the first Pages v5 application rolled out in Oct 2013. There are other word processing applications, some even free (LibreOffice) that offer non-contiguous text selection. Owning a Mac does not require one to use Pages if some missing features undermine productivity.
