It seems to me that I can't easily find tokens, sometimes because they're off the edge of the map or they're stacked on top of each other. Is there a way to access a list of tokens on a given map, and select them from that list?

This would almost certainly require an API script. And even then I'm not sure about the selection part.

To add to Keith's reply, you definitely can do the selection part with an API script. API scripts are Pro level perk, sadly.

It depends on what is meant by “selection”. If it is simply find and manipulate, the API can do it. If it is select in the user interface for manipulation with the mouse, it cannot.

Adam did say "access a list of tokens and select from that list," which reads to me as "present a dropdown box for selection of the token" which should certainly be doable. I guess it depends what he actually wants to do with the selection once done.

I had assumed selected as in "grabbed on the tabletop". Selecting and acting upon a list of tokens programmatically is certainly possible by the API, and many scripts do it.
