"grabbing" objects by its vertices
Or is it only possible to "grab" an object (or sub-element selection) by its pivot?

Do you wonder if you can move a object by using vertixes, well you can do that just press>>space bar>>vertixes and select your vertixes and move them like you move the object.
Or do you want to change your pivot? You do that by first selecting the wanted tool then hitting>>insert.
I hope that helped.

It seems that you can only "grab" an object when you hover its pivot or an axis...
In 3dsmax you can just hover the whole object and start moving, when snap to vertices is on, you can use this to grab an object by this vertex and snap this to the vertex of another object for example.. which is very handy.. because it reduces the operation with a few steps

Modify > Snap Align Objects > Point to Point.
Not as easy as Max (one of the things I like about Max) but does the job.
