"Transparent" selection behaviour

Hello!

Normally if I have a bitmap with some part completely transparent it gets selected even if I click at the transparent area within bounds. I'm thinking if it's possible to change that behaviour so if I have an opaque object underneath it'll get selected instead of that  object on the top. For instance, GIMP presents such behaviour.

Here's an example: if I click where a red dot is (added in Paint just to indicate) I want the circle to get selected, not the bitmap on the top. I s this possible?

    I meant the grey circle, of course. I want it to get selected.

  • I am not aware of a setting to make CorelDRAW ignore clicks on transparent regions of a bitmap.

    You can, however, Alt+click to select objects further back in the stacking order:
