Selecting tangent faces

NX 9

I have a user, that is naming faces, ie he sets the selection filter to "face", selects them, right click over the face(s), Properties, then assignes the name.  Some parts have numerous faces, but he only wants the internal faces.  When in various commands, you can set the selection filters to "tangent faces", but not when outside a command like this.

Any thoughts on how he can make the selection of these faces easier?
