Two quick hacks.

**Select**

```javascript
function OnClick(clickData) {
    if (DOpus.GetClipFormat() != 'text') return;

    var cmd = clickData.func.command;
    var tab = clickData.func.sourcetab;
    cmd.deselect = false;

    var items = DOpus.GetClip().split(', ') || [];
    cmd.ClearFiles();
    for (var i = 0; i < items.length; ++i) {
        cmd.AddFile(tab.path + '\\' + items[i]);
    }
    cmd.RunCommand('Select FROMSCRIPT SETFOCUS');
}

```
