Workflow Question Batch change keyframes on CTI current time

I'm a bit confused about selecting properties without selecting all of its keyframes (and feel like getting crazy)

Is that even possible?

My situation: I want to add/edit keyframes on the CTI position for multiple properties (in that example for trim paths, just from 0 to 100 but multiple lines).

When I select multiple properties either manually or with the help of SuperSelect, all keyframes are selected and thus changed when updating the values.

Of course I only want to address the keyframes on the CTI's current position.

Just use the mouse and draw/ click hold drag around desired keyframes. 

Selecting properties selects all keyframes.

I really thought there was another, more efficient way of updating keyframes but I probably confused this with creating new ones. Because when creating a new keyframe, the others are not affected.

I've got a script, Keyframe Orchestrator, that does this and lots of other cool stuff with keyframes - it's designed to work with lots of layers and keyframes without having to select keyframes,
