If you want the same action setting for all your boxes, then you can do a
couple of things (none as easy as selecting them all and setting them
all). You can set one up the way you want it, hit the TAB key to select
the next one and then ctrl-Y to repeat the action setting for that one.
Alternatively, you can draw a transparent or mostly transparent shape on
top of you diagram and set the Action Setting for that.
