You can set an option to "drag connected tracks".  It's in Preferences > PCB Editor > General > Other > Comp Drag.

After that, you still have to use the "move" menu for it. "M" "C" should do it. Hovewer, the results are ridiculous, it completely ignores 45/90 degree, and you are better if you just delete the whole section and redraw it. It is a weak point.
But hey, we have a useless embedded section!

Hold down control while dragging. Sometimes it works, sometimes it just makes a mess.

Holding down CTRL while (left) dragging a component doesn't have any (added) effect when I try it.   :-//
