Is there an HTML DOM equivalent to JqueryUI selectable?

Question

Since there are HTML DOM attributes to make an element draggable, droppable and resizable, is there something like it for selectable?

I want to remove JQueryUI dependency (and not replace it with another library) since we don't use the widgets anymore, just the convenience methods for widget handling. When I keep selectable, widgets don't respond to the HMTL attribute settings (Jquery UI takes over drag/drop/resize).
