I have been searching a way to create selection from layer the way we can do in photoshop with ctrl click, I tried the above but cannot get it to work, i would appreciate any help.

I should of specified that I am using the ipad version of affinity photo 

Make sure to select layer mask

Go to channels studio, select layer mask alpha and select create spare channel

from spare channel you can select to load to pixel selection

 

Same way if you want to create selection from opacity layers, go to channels  studio,

select layer pixel alpha and create spare channel then you can load selection from spare channel

 

I hope developer can make easy way to create selection from layer just  like affinity photo desktop

[Printing with paper profiles]

click show details maybe?

[Quick mask]

You can use erase brush (and play around with oppacity to get transparent effect) to create mask

so erase brush to create mask and white brush to erase mask will help for now
