Getting from a Layer object to its assigned shapes

[Mac]

Is there a way to get from a layer object ( e.g. obtained via
ActivePage.Layers.Item(x) ) to a collection of shapes that are assigned to
this layer? Also I should point out that iterating through
ActivePage.Shapes...Layer is not possible for me, due to complex grouping of
my shapes ...

Use the Drawing Explorer window?

Page.CreateSelection()

Can that select shapes and shapes within a group at the same time?

In my tests, it only selects the top level of a group...
