There area number of methods that could be used to make all elements in a model of your design file be related as a single entity. The easiest option could be to place the model as a Cell. If it is all the elements within that Design Model then you can go into the properties of that model and tick the option "Can be placed as a cell".

Do you have Graphics Group Lock on or off.

With it on, you can select one element and the whole group hilights.

With it off,  you can select the individual elements.

^The drawing will need to be in a model type Design for that to work.

If you tell us what you want to do with the thing, we may be able to make better suggestions. There are certain advantages to using the Group command. 

This seems like a candidate for referencing, depending on what you want to do.
