Is there an efficient way to scroll through long pages and list using touch ('grab' the scroll bar)?

Overall, I'm loving Win 8 on my new touch screen laptop. There's definitely some learning and adjusting to do, but I don't think I'll ever be able to go back to a non-touch screen device again. But when using the touch screen, I haven't found
a good way to scroll through long pages in IE metro or long lists when navigating my music library in the stock metro music app. A scroll bar does appear on the right side of the screen once I start flicking the page/list up or down. But I can't
seem to &quotgrab&quot the scroll bar to efficiently move far up and down the list. This grab functionality is present in many of the apps on my Android phone. Flick the screen to scroll and the scroll bar appears. Then you can 'grab' the scroll
bar and quickly move up and down.
If this functionality present and have I just not figured it out? If not, this is a huge functionality shortcoming.
