Visually selecting multi-lines inside backticks

Hi, this is quite a stupid question but why doesn't backticks work for
multi-line selection via something like vi`

I have some blocks like

`
lorem ipsum
`

and I want to select whole inside the backticks. I am reading that ',",` are
only matched in the same lines.

Thanks
