Refresh my memory - is there a quick and easy way to identify and select different material groups within the Preview window?  I currently just mouse over whatever I want to select and hope that Poser recognizes what I want to work with when I click where my cursor is, but half the time I don't know if what I clicked on is the right thing, and the other half Poser registers something completely different than what I intended to click on.

I haven't worked with DAZ since early 2011, but I believe it still has a menu option called the Surface Selection Tool.  When activated, the Preview window shows the different material zones in your scene.  When you mouse over a zone, the name of the material appears next to your cursor so there's no mistaking what you click on.

Is there anything like that in Poser?

Hover your mouse  over the area, then RIGHT click and select.

Example the head?
Hover over the head with you mouse, Right click and select:
Mostly you can choose between head, hair, eyes.

Difficult to select otherwise but right click makes it easy.
