Right Click Attacking Stacks in the Empire Tree?

Hi All,
Does anybody know if selecting a bunch of units and right clicking a stack of 10 enemies in the empire tree will cue up orders to shoot down all ten units? Or will it just shoot down the one unit on the "top" of the stack then return to default operations?
My experience is the latter, which is really unfortunate and makes overriding the default attack behaviors a severe pain. But perhaps somebody knows a solution or work around for this.
I'm thinking specifically of a scenario which just occured to me where I had 8 wings of fighters, several flaks and some other stuff. The enemy had 15 LRMs and a hangar bay so 2 wings of fighters. My fighters engaged his fighters and they spun in circles in the corner. Now I understand that fighters want to cover for bombers, so default to shooting down enemy fighters. But in this situation I really really wanted my fighters to shoot down the LRMs as quickly as possible. I had flak, so I wasn't concerned about his fighters at all.
I had to go out of Stack mode, select my fighters and cue up each LRM individuall, then go back to stack mode. This was 15+ clicks, when I really should've been able to do it in 2.
Is there a way to make this happen?
