Reaper doesn't have "free selection" (free range selection) like most daws where you can highlight and edit a certain portion of a wav or random portions of audio or tracks. You must use "selected area (inside the loop range) of the selected track(s)".
And then there are limits to what you can do editing wise to that "selection". In opposition to most other windows software, selection in Reaper is right-click drag instead of the normal way.

In Reaper when I select certain tracks and go to "Consolidate/Export tracks" it gives me the option to do the entire track, a select time period, then it gives you an option for tracks selected but instead of exporting them out together, it does them one by one.

Are you looking to mix/render or export stems? Reaper's stem rendering is among the best I've ever seen. Not sure what you're trying to do exactly. If you select some tracks and right click you can "Render Selected Tracks" to stems and have them automatically imported into the project. If I'm not mistaken it renders all the stems at the same time.
Consolidation in Reaper on the other hand - in my opinion - is poor. It doesn't recognize where the file(s) stop so if you set a 4 min loop range it will make all 4 minute files. Even for tracks that are only 1 minute long, and a couple of other little irritating things.
There are video tutorials on the Reaper forum for most of this stuff. Here's a few...
