How to select vertices contained in object

Question

How can vertices be selected if they are contained in another? Is there a way to do this using manual editing, Animation Nodes, or Sverchok?

Example:

How can the vertices contained within the cylinder be selected?

This is a similar question - Selecting all objects inside a mesh , in this case the question applies to vertices.

In this case, you can:

Select the cylinder, shift select the grid then enter edit mode.

Go to wireframe view and uncheck X Ray. Then from the top view, box select.
