Yes, there are lots and lots and lots and lots…(you get the picture) ways to do it.
In fact, if you do a search, I think one of the members has a really good (and free) rigging script.
You could also checkout scriptspot.com and take a look at “Stop Staring: Facial Modeling and Animation Done Right” … while the version I had was presented mostly in maya, the techniques and ideas are a great jumping off point.

If you have a biped rig, then there are lots of freely available scripted UI’s to do what you want … Search biped selector on scriptspot.
If you have a custom rig, then, you can make UI with some buttons which on click select a particular object … a simple example is given below:
If one of your control objects is named CTRL_Hand
rollout testRollout "ctrl selector" width:157 height:93
(
button btn1 "Button" pos:[28,26] width:98 height:32
on btn1 pressed do
(
select $CTRL_Hand
)
)
createdialog testRollout
now you could add as many buttons you need in the above script, as per your need
thanks aaaaCHoooo and rusty night… it worked and its a really big help ful for my animation thanks again…
