3ds Max Animation :: Selecting Objects By Proxy Possible?

I'm using Max 2012, and I wonder if there's a simple way to create an object that, when selected, would select a different specified object in the scene.

I'll explain the situation. I'd like to make a series of spline drawings in the shape of my rig, basically creating a simplified drawing of a skeleton, and then be able to click on, for example, the upper leg of this simplified drawing, and have the actual upper leg bone within the rig itself become selected.

Ideally, I'd like for the spline drawing I clicked to be unselected after I click it, leaving only the bone it represents selected. In essence, I want to make a group of "buttons" that can be used to select bones and helpers within a rig.
