Is there an Illustrator equivalent for InDesign's doc.selection.storeSelection() or app.selection.store() functionality?"

Illustrator api doesn't have those explicit methods but these do the job

// save selection
var sel1 = activeDocument.selection;

// select saved selection
activeDocument.selection = sel1;

@hans_4621 I'm afraid you've been misinformed. Indesign doesn't have either of those methods. In Indesign we get and use the selection just as Carlos described. - Mark
