I think the OP is thinking of an old feature from Harpoon where you right click on a unit and you get a list of units that are capable of an intercept. The unit then goes off to attack the enemy unit. IIRC, the feature was in the classic Harpoon, but never made into the Harpoon 2 game.

I don't think you can do that directly with CMO. CMO is more mission-based and the expectation is you'll be using a mission setting.

Airborne Threat Detection

Sometimes in computer Harpoon a new threat which can be countered by patrolling aircraft will be detected. Instead of having to launch new aircraft or selecting a group with patrolling aircraft and splitting them off to attack the threat, we provide the Intercept Screen.

Each available unit is shown, including their current distance to the target that needs to be intercepted. Move to the Unit(s) you want to use to intercept the threat and click your mouse on the Intercept button. Selected intercept aircraft will have a "*" show up to the left of the # of aircraft. When you have selected the units to use to intercept, select the OK button.
