This is possible using the API. This is not all that difficult as I
could do it an my coding skills have eroded seriously.

I would consider investing a little. It is easy to retrieve a list of
all probes and make any selection one would like based on geographic
location, AS, public address .....

Then you can create a measurement requesting exactly those probes.

I recommend investing in using the API. Alternative is to wait for UI
improvements. The only way to make sure these get done eventually is to
get them onto the roadmap:
