Would it be possible to associate events to markers, so that when I click a marker, it automatically selects some events in the timeline?

You can do that already with the bundle events command. Select all events you want linked (you can include the marker event if you like), and then “Bundle events” (Ctrl+N). Dragging any of the events in the bundle will then drag all the bundled events, and you can use the copy drag to create phantom copies. The dropped copy will become a new bundle. Use Ctrl+N again to unbundle events.

The bundling feature also allows you to create separate bundles for handling synths and drums, as in your example. Each event can only be included in a single bundle though, so the marker event cannot be included in more than one bundle.

To further explain the idea with marker linking:
Say you have 4 copies of a 4-bar section, each with a marker event at the start. You can link the 4 marker events to sync the 4-bar patterns. You could however instead link only the first and third marker, and by doing so sync two 8-bar sections. In other words, the length of the synced sections are not determined by the distance between markers, but the minimum distance between linked markers.
